Amazon Forest Protection Project

Code REDD is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support and scale the REDD+ mechanism to realize its full potential to empower people, preserve forests, protect wildlife, and reduce emissions. Code REDD’s Code of Conduct prioritizes the rights and roles of indigenous and local communities living in and around project areas. These communities are the first line of defense against the economic incentives driving deforestation in threatened forests. Our project developers work closely with the indigenous and local communities to ensure equitable benefit-sharing.
