About Rainforest Information Centre

The Rainforest Information Centre is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the protection of the Earth's remaining rainforests in partnership with the indigenous people and local communities who depend on them.

Rainforest Information Centre Description

The Rainforest Information Centre (RIC) was born out of the successful struggle to save the sub-tropical rainforests of New South Wales, Australia 1979-1981 followed by our participation in the struggles to save the temperate rainforests of Tasmania in 1982 and the tropical rainforests of Far North Queensland in 1985-86. Since then we have been involved in campaigns and projects which protect rainforests and at the same time recognise the legitimate development aspirations of rainforest peoples .

Our activities include:

- Support for projects around the world - Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand etc

Planetfunder.org and the RIC Small Grants Program supporting environmental justice worldwide

- Deep ecology workshops and the dissemination of information on deep ecology

- Campaigns on gold mining, forest campaigns, oil palm. . .

- International rainforest roadshows
