What We've Done for Rainforests
To date, Rainforest Relief has prevented the imminent or impending use of over 11 million board feet of unsustainable tropical hardwoods. This is more than any other group in North America. We have done this on a very limited budget, calculating that we spare 25 acres of forests from logging for every dollar spent —an incredibly high 'rate of return' for your support!
We're a dynamic group that has taken the lead in preventing the use of tropical hardwoods in the U.S. Get involved with our projects and campaigns.

Barnes & Noble
In 1996 Rainforest Relief targeted this bookselling giant for their ongoing use of mahogany and other tropical hardwoods in store construction. At the time, B&N was building approximately 100 stores a year using mahogany for foyers, doors & railings, jatoba ([species name]) for flooring and Shorea sp. for furniture. We chose to target B&N as part of an International Day of Mahogany Action called by Rainforest Action Network.
