Rainforest Trust and Fundación Ecominga are honoring the memory of Mark Gruin, former Rainforest Trust Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, by naming a newly identified orchid species in Ecuador. This orchid symbolizes Mark’s lifelong commitment to conservation and his advocacy for empowering local organizations in the protection of biodiversity. Mark passed away in 2022, but his legacy lives on in the landscapes he helped protect and the budding conservationists he mentored. The orchid named in his honor serves as a lasting tribute to his work and a reminder of his dedication to preserving nature’s wonders.

About us
For more than 35 years, Rainforest Trust has not wavered from its mission of preventing deforestation, preserving critical habitat and safeguarding endangered species. We have projects in rainforests, but we also protect other types of forests and even marine environments! Stopping deforestation does not just save trees. The results include clean water, oxygen production, carbon sequestration and storage, and the slowing of climate change. Saving tropical forests helps mitigate many of the critical issues we are facing today and in the near future. By becoming a part of Rainforest Trust, you become part of the solution. Businesses that leverage their corporate resources enable Rainforest Trust to achieve its mission. We are all in this together, working hard to ensure a future for all species, including our own.
