Trees, Water & People was cofounded in 1998 by Richard Fox and Stuart Conway, two foresters and friends who saw an urgent need to address the pervasive deforestation in Latin America. This vision quickly evolved as they realized the solution had to address the underlying causes of deforestation and benefit the people most affected by climate change. Twenty five years later, TWP is a leader in the design and implementation of programs that produce tangible benefits for people and the planet. Today, our work is more urgent than ever, as climate change threatens the livelihoods of millions of people in our region.
