This short film documents the early stages of the Rainforest Foundation UK’s real-time forest monitoring project in Central Africa and the Peruvian Amazon.
RFUK works in the world’s two largest rainforests: the Congo Basin and the Amazon. Spread over billions of acres, these forests are under threat from illegal activities like logging and mining. These activities cause a breakdown in forest habitats, undermining forest and indigenous peoples’ livelihoods and destroying ecosystems.
By engaging communities in the fight to tackle illegal logging, our real-time monitoring project seeks to strengthen their involvement in forest protection and management. As of 2017, ForestLink is active in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana and Peru.
