Activity 2

Sustainable Agriculture - Rainforest Alliance certification encourages farmers to grow crops and manage ranchlands sustainably. Because our certification system is built on the three pillars of sustainability -- environmental protection, social equity and economic viability -- and no single pillar can support long-term success on its own, we help farmers improve in all three areas. The Rainforest Alliance also works to connect consumers to Rainforest Alliance Certified sustainable products. Highlights in 2010 include: * At year's end, 1.75 million acres of farmland had earned Rainforest Alliance certification. * With the launch of a new standard for sustainable cattle ranches, the Rainforest Alliance began tackling the social, environmental and economic problems associated with cattle ranching -- the leading cause of deforestation in the Amazon. * We participated in the development of new climate criteria that will help farmers decrease their greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for changing climatic conditions and increase the amount of carbon sequestered on their lands. * For the first time, coffee farmers in Papua New Guinea and tea farmers in Sri Lanka earned Rainforest Alliance certification. * We awarded the first-ever sugarcane certifications in Brazil and El Salvador. * Caribou Coffee, the second largest specialty retailer in the United States, committed to sourcing 100 percent Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee by the close of 2011. * With the launch of the Nescafe Plan, Nestle committed to sourcing 90,000 tons of coffee from farms that comply with the Sustainable Agriculture Network standards - the standards that all Rainforest Alliance Certified farms must meet - by 2020. * A number of companies launched new products bearing the little green frog seal. Among them, Second Cup in Canada; Galaxy chocolate in the UK; Tetley Tea in the UK; American Airlines in the US; and Medaille d'Or in Switzerland. * The volume of Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa produced in 2010 increased by 319 percent over the previous year - reaching 56,000 metric tons. * More than 120,000 metric tons of Rainforest Alliance Certified tea was produced in 2010 - a 53 percent increase over the previous year.

Activity 3

TREES - The Rainforest Alliance's Training, Extension, Enterprises and Sourcing (TREES) program helps communities and small- and medium-sized businesses to harvest forest products in a sustainable way, and sell their goods to conscientious consumers in the global marketplace. Highlights in 2010 include: * TREES assisted over 100 small- and medium-sized community and indigenous forestry operations. * TREES began working in Africa, specifically Ghana and Cameroon, as well as eight new states in Mexico. * In Honduras's Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve, forestry cooperatives assisted by the Rainforest Alliance achieved forest management certification for the first time on 37,000 acres of land. * Through the GuateCarbon pilot project in Guatemala - covering an area of almost 988,500 acres in the Maya Biosphere Reserve - TREES continued to demonstrate how payment for environmental services from REDD+ in well-managed, certified forest can benefit local communities and encourage sustainable land use.
