ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, November 2, 2026—Rainforest Trust announced a commitment to award $50 million in new conservation projects across low- and middle-income Commonwealth countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region between 2026 and 2030. The pledge was announced at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting as part of the launch of the Commonwealth Nature Initiative (CNI), a major new effort to mobilize investment and partnerships to advance the global goal of conserving at least 30% of the planet’s land and ocean by 2030. Rainforest Trust is among the founding supporters of the initiative, which launched with US $202.2 million in initial commitments from philanthropic and conservation partners.

Enter Nadino Calapucha (Kichwa): climate ambassador and committed defender of Indigenous rights across the Amazon basin and beyond. For him, this sonic vernacular gave rise to an inspired musical venture with mass appeal. Starting in 2016, with his group Kambak, Calapucha channeled his voice, through song, to amplify the interests and the language of his Peoples—to the delight of a broad range of audiences across rivers, mountain ranges, and oceans beyond. During Climate Week and the UN General Assembly in New York, Cristina Verán spoke with Calapucha about his life of service and the journey that has brought grassroots resistance, full force, from his Kichwa community and its neighbors to the global stage. Stepping back from the music industry now in order to prioritize political advocacy work in the climate movement and safeguarding the Amazon, he works to ensure that Indigenous Peoples remain the rightful stewards of their territories, as essential, integral partners and collaborators in the fight for its (and by extension, our own) survival. Cristina Verán: First, where do you call home—the...
