Common Questions

What is The Rainforest Site?

The Rainforest Site is an online activism site that offers simple ways to help in the fight against the destruction of our rainforests.

Clicking is Free

In just a few seconds each day, visitors can click on the green “Preserve Endangered Land” button on the home page and, at no cost to them, help preserve rainforest land worldwide. Preservation of habitat is paid for by The Rainforest Site’s sponsors and accomplished by The Nature Conservancy, The Rainforest Conservation Fund, The World Parks Endowment, and The Friends of Calakmul. These organizations work to preserve rainforest land in Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay and other locations worldwide.

100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners.

The Rainforest Site was founded in May of 2000. To date, more than 153 million visitors have clicked to save more than 40,500 acres of habitat (that’s more than 1,767 million square feet of land!) via a simple and free daily click.
