Background

About Rachel Travers

As CEO of Rainforest Trust UK, I lead efforts to expand our UK supporter base and cultivate meaningful partnerships with major donors. Rainforest Trust is a global leader in conservation, funding the creation and expansion of protected areas to combat biodiversity loss and climate change. With 100% of donations going directly to conservation action, we empower UK supporters to achieve extraordinary impact through their philanthropy. Previously, I served as CEO at Amaze and held senior leadership roles at Shelter, the Refugee Council, and also at Arthur Andersen, and Marks & Spencer. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to driving positive change—whether in environmental conservation, social justice, or corporate responsibility. The climate and biodiversity crises are among the greatest challenges of our time. I’m passionate about turning urgency into action, protecting our planet’s most vital ecosystems, and inspiring others to do the same. Let’s connect and make a difference together.
