GREEN BOOTS supports projects on site to protect rainforests. Our aim is to preserve and promote biodiversity, to mitigate climate change and to secure the livelihoods of indigenous people.
We work together with small, local partner organizations that know the regional context. The local population is always involved in our projects and helps to shape them in a participatory manner and according to their needs.
Chicken farming is the first step to ensure a source of sustenance for the indigenous Achuar. Therefore, they are no longer dependent on wildlife hunting. The self-supply helps mitigate against emigration to bigger cities and encourages the Achuar to help protect the rainforest.
Wildfires burn every year due to the illegal drainage of the peat-swamp forests on Borneo. By building dams to block the canals we help to keep the forests damp. Help us to conserve numerous specialized and endangered animal and plant species such as the world's largest protected orangutan population.
The tropical rainforests of Borneo are some of the most biodiverse ecosystems worldwide. But about half of the forest has already been destroyed. Help the indigenous Dayak to preserve these precious habitats by patrolling the forests and planting trees.
The rainforest along the Rio Pastaza in the Ecuadorian Amazon is highly endangered. With the continuing disappearance of the rainforest the livelihood of the indigenous Achuar is threatened. Support the Achuar to preserve the rainforest.
