Tropical Forest Conservation Act

The Tropical Forest Conservation Act (TFCA) is a U.S. program that helps protect rainforests by allowing countries with tropical forests to reduce their debt in exchange for commitments to conserve and sustainably manage their forest resources. Essentially, it offers debt relief to eligible nations, freeing up money that can be used for conservation initiatives instead of debt payments. This promotes global efforts to preserve biodiversity, combat climate change, and support sustainable development in tropical regions.
