Your Gift Protects the Congo.
And Everything It Touches.

The Congo Rainforest is one of the most vital, yet most overlooked, ecosystems on Earth. It is the last rainforest still doing its job: absorbing carbon, preserving biodiversity, and sheltering endangered species like the Grauer's gorilla.

But it won't last without your help. Your donation helps us:

Protect rainforest land before it is sold, mined, or burned

Fund ranger patrols and anti-poaching operations

Support sustainable local livelihoods that reduce deforestation

Reforest degraded land and restore gorilla habitat

Educate global audiences about the importance of the Congo

Every dollar is a stand for climate, wildlife, and human dignity.

You can give once. You can give monthly. You can make a difference.

The Congo Rainforest Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Current Projects:

Project 1: Snare Removal Expedition

Goal: In itombwe National Park, Grauer's gorillas are killed at an alarming rate, mostly by poachers seeking to sell them as bush meat. Over 80% were slaughtered in a 20 year period. Congo Rainforest Fund is seeking funding for a snare removal expedition to remove more then 100 or more snares in Itombwe. Every $25 you contribute removes one snare and saves the lives of critically endangered Grauer's gorillas, the largest primate on earth, eastern chimpanzees, and forest elephants living inside the reserve.

Funding required: $3000
