Intern - Rainforest Alliance

At the Rainforest Alliance, we are building an alliance to create a better future for people and nature by making responsible business the new normal. To advance our mission, we focus on amplifying our impact on the ground through systemic transformation: change across the entire supply chain, the relationship between people and nature, and change within our organisation. We achieve this transformation by collaborating with various stakeholders to create a stronger Alliance.

Together, we amplify the voices of farmers and forest communities, improve livelihoods, protect biodiversity, and help people adapt to climate change in bold and effective ways. We embrace transparency because we believe the best way to build trust across our alliance is through openness about our tactics, impact, and partners on the ground. Together, we can achieve our vision of a harmonious world where people and nature thrive.
