Background

Habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife. Every day, vital ecosystems are destroyed, accelerating biodiversity loss and species extinction. This environmental damage also drives climate change, making the need to address this crisis even more urgent.

Why did we choose this project?

World Land Trust has a steadfast commitment to helping people around the world protect and restore their land, safeguarding both biodiversity and the climate. At its core, our work is about offering tangible, practical solutions that empowers individuals and businesses to make a meaningful, positive impact. In the face of the biodiversity and climate crises that are affecting our everyday lives, our projects represent hope, action, and global collaboration

How does it work?

Working through a network of partner organisations around the world, WLT funds the creation of reserves and provides permanent protection for habitats and wildlife. Partnerships are developed with established and highly respected local organisations who engage support and commitment among the local community.

How do we know it's working?

Since 1989, collaboration with 53 partners across 30 countries WLT has funded the protection of 1,340,393ha (3,312,183 acres) and co-funded a further 1,449,918ha (3,582,825 acres) of highly threatened habitat and planted of more than 3.3 million trees
