GCP Today

The Global Canopy Programme is an alliance of scientific institutions around the world, applying the tropical forest intelligence of our networks to protect forests and the vital ecosystem services they provide to humanity. We are a think-tank and catalyst, actively testing innovative ways to protect tropical forests in a globalised economy that still values them more dead than alive.

We believe that only multidisciplinary approaches can meet the complex challenges facing forests, and for the last 5 years we have successfully built up policy and business programmes to complement our science heritage. Resulting initiatives such as the Forest Footprint Disclosure Project, the Forests Now Declaration, and the Little Book series aim to target key pressure  points threatening tropical forests, and have been widely recognized for their impact.
