The Earth's forests are our best natural defense against global warming. We believe that the future of all humanity deserves a healthy environment and the fundamental benefits that nature provides. Our planet is experiencing an unprecedented drawdown of these resources, and it is only by ensuring the stability of the climate, fresh water, healthy oceans and reliable food a better life for everyone, everywhere. RainTrust is ambitious but our methodology is considered and practical for us to reach our short and long term goals.

* Bringing millions of acres of currently degraded and marginal lands back to sustainable productive use.
* Instilling pride and dignity in the indigenous people of these lands and to establishing revenue streams related to rain forests.
* Maintaining the highest level of environmental, economic and social accountability.

RainTrust's Eco-Nomic vision
Context
Since the start of the industrial revolution our planet has been stripped of greater than 60% of its forests. The consequences to global climate stability, soil preservation, and agriculture, watershed integrity, wildlife, natural beauty and humanity have been devastating. The Earth now faces an unprecedented complex array of global threats that extend to even threaten our very survival. Conserved and restored rainforests are the most dynamic, adaptive and technologically sophisticated solution to these threats.
RainTrust believes it must always reinvent new financing models to support new technologies and operating systems for the management of population on a large scale. While we are confident we can make small initiatives happen, we also understand our ambitious large scale goals cannot be met trying to do them alone. We are humbled by the challenge and always remain open to establishing multiple Joint Venture partnerships and to all new ideas. We seek to stay in the positive and on course for enlightened programs that touch and effect the 6.5 Billion on the planet.
How you can participate in the RainTrust Philosophy
RainTrust has grown quickly but we never stopped believing that good intention is enough. We think with one vision but with diversified and specific ways ('tailor made methods', or 'locally adapted methods') to accomplish our goals. We are constantly developing multiple ('innovative') platforms that engage multiple interests and cultures while maintaining the common denominators of values and hope. We believe in the "whats in it for you" concept ('involving you') and therefore, we are always developing a variety of incredible entertainment and deeply rich educational content ('edutainment') and combine them with our serious and passionate 'for the people" programmatic agendas ('passionate and real people empowering programs') . We believe this philosophy of hope passion and purpose with practical real time solutions is what is really needed to actually help our ailing planet.
