FORESTS & FINANCE

Forests & Finance is an initiative by a coalition of campaign and research organisations including Rainforest Action Network, TuK Indonesia, Profundo, Amazon Watch, Repórter Brasil, BankTrack, Sahabat Alam Malaysia and Friends of the Earth US. Collectively we seek to prevent financial institutions from facilitating environmental and social abuses common in forest risk commodities. We seek to achieve this through improved financial sector transparency, policies, systems and regulations. The content of the website is updated on a regular basis. Below is a description of the main roles of each organization in the Forests & Finance Coalition... The banks and investors exposed to deforestation risks in Southeast Asia
