One Tribe

In January 2021 we joined One Tribe Global! As a global community, we want to do everything we can to help preserve our rainforests and protect our planet.

Our Commitment

With every individual admissions registration, we will donate a monetary percentage that equates to protecting 500 trees in the Amazon rainforest.
With our overseas trips, we will commit to donate a percentage of costs to save trees and protect our planet.

How Does One Tribe Work?

Rainforest Protection

Tropical deforestation accounts for up to 15% of net global carbon emissions each year – the same as every car, truck, bus, plane, ship and train on the planet. Safeguarding existing rainforests is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to fight climate change, as every acre safely stores over 100 tonnes of carbon that could otherwise enter the atmosphere as the greenhouse gas CO2. Studies have shown that halting tropical deforestation and allowing for regrowth could mitigate up to 50% of net global carbon emissions in the next 30 years – yet rainforests are still being cut down at a rate of 70,000 acres a day. To date One Tribe's conservation partner reserves have protected over 18 billion trees and stored over 4.1 billion metric tonnes of CO2 equivalents, helping to protect our planet against further climate change.

Biodiversity

ENDANGERED SPECIES Over 500 species of land mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians face imminent extinction, with fewer than 1,000 individuals of these species surviving in the wild. Tropical rainforests cover only 8% of the planet’s surface, but support over 50% of the world’s species, many of which are critically endangered. The reserves established by One Tribe's conservation partners in the last 30 years have provided safe havens for 296 endangered and vulnerable mammal species, and 456 endangered and vulnerable bird species.

Indigenous Communities

Rainforests are home to thousands of indigenous communities who rely on the forests for their food, water and economic prosperity. Many of these communities and their forests are under threat from illegal logging, mining, oil and gas extraction and agriculture. One Tribe's conservation partners work with trusted local NGOs to protect these forests by having them designated as Community Reserves or National Parks. Their conservation partners have also helped indigenous communities in Latin America obtain legal land titling rights to their ancestral lands, which allows the communities to manage their forest resources more sustainably.

Conservation Charities

One Tribe is one of the world’s most respected and successful conservation charities and works in partnership with trusted local NGOs and indigenous communities to save the world’s most threatened rainforests and tropical ecosystems. They have been protecting rainforests for over 30 years and have already placed over 24 million acres of threatened habitat under permanent protection.

One Tribe Global works with; United Nations Climate Change, Sustainable Development Goals, Rainforest Trust, Gold Standard for the Global Goals and Verra.

Deforestation releases as much carbon as the entire global transportation sector each year.
80,000 acres of tropical rainforest are lost every day
The majority of the world’s plants and animals are found in rainforests
Tropical deforestation accounts for up to 15% of net global carbon emissions each year
Trees convert CO2 to Carbon, storing it in their trunks, root and in the soil
When trees are deforested they stop absorbing carbon and release stored carbon into our atmosphere
Tropical rainforests are the lungs of our planet
Halting tropical deforestation and allowing regrowth could mitigate 50% of global emissions by 2050
Each Tree protected stores carbon and is home to wildlife form Parrots to Beetles
70% of the known cancer-fighting plants that exist only in the rainforest.
