About the Community

At the Financial Times we are dedicated to reducing our global impact on the natural environment by taking responsibility for all our activities and neutralising their effects. With this in mind the Financial Times has joined forces with the Pearson Foundation and Children’s Tropical Forests UK (CTF) to invest in and raise funds for the purchase and protection of a substantial area of primary tropical rainforest in Costa Rica.

The initial phase of the project will see the Financial Times and Pearson Foundation invest to grow the area every year for three years to reach 50 hectares of protected forest. Together with CTF they will also be calling upon individuals, staff, customers, clients, and readers to help raise funds to expand the FT Rainforest to a target area of 100 hectares, the equivalent of 161 football pitches or 60,000 trees which would protect 30,000 metric tonnes of carbon.

The Pearson Foundation will match the first $20,000 of donations every year of the scheme.
