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, Milieudefensie, CED Cameroon, and Sahabat Alam Malaysia. Collectively, they seek to achieve improved financial sector transparency, policies, systems and regulations, that ultimately prevent financial institutions from supporting the kind of environmental and social abuses that are all too common in the operations of many forest-risk sector clients. 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.
