What is the cause of the deforestation that makes NRDCs Revive a Rainforest Campaign necessary?
Cattle-ranching is a leading driver of deforestation in Latin America. The NRDC reforestation project will reclaim land that was originally deforested to use as pasture to raise cattle. NRDC’s partner plays a key role in promoting sustainable management of rural natural resources by teaching local farmers and rural workers how to protect forests. The NRDC project will undo the damage of deforestation and help our partners demonstrate reliable reforestation techniques to local communities.
