World Land Trust Charity

The World Land Trust is an international conservation charity based in Halesworth, a rural town in Suffolk, UK, committed to saving threatened habitats worldwide. Since its foundation in 1989 as the World Wide Land Conservation Trust, the World Land Trust has been working to preserve the world's most biologically important and threatened lands, and has helped purchase and protect over 375,000 acres of habitats rich in wildlife in Asia, Central and South America and the UK.

Why Save Acres with the World Land Trust? You will take direct action to save tropical forests and other important wildlife areas by funding the purchase of threatened habitats. The habitats you help buy are protected as wildlife reserves, owned and managed by local organisations. Habitats are purchased for permanent protection and not limited sponsorship.

There's no way of bailing out the tropical rainforests and wildlife habitats around the world; once they're gone, they're gone and it'll be too late to take action so donate today before it's too late!

You can help the World Land Trust save even more with £50 saving an entire acre of rainforest.

How your donations to World Land Trust Charity will be used?

Since its foundation in 1989 the World Land Trust has used your donations to help its partner organisations purchase and protect over 375,000 acres of threatened wildlife habitats. Many conservation projects have been successfully completed and the following projects are an example of those currently underway:

• Coastal Steppe project in Patagonia - removal of old fencing to improve access for guanacos and other wildlife
• Urgent land purchase projects in Brazil - increase the reserve and protect the Atlantic rainforest against further losses
• Tropical forest project in Ecuador - protect critically important habitats for many of Ecuador's rarest bird species, as well as a wide variety of other animals
• Elephant corridor project in India - saving important populations of Indian elephants by preventing forest fragmentation
• Protecting critical corridors for Orang-utans in Borneo - working with Malaysian LEAP Conservancy to create corridors to protect rainforest and to ensure continuous habitat for Orang-utans and other wildlife
• Kites Hill Reserve in UK - 40 acres of fallow grasslands and native woodland located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

You can earmark your donation for a specific project but don't forget that £25 helps protect half an acre of rainforest with the original 'Save an Acre' conservation charity.
