Buying land to protect rainforests
Rainforest is being destroyed at an unprecedented rate, causing mass extinctions and climate change. WLT-US has dedicated 20 years to buying and protecting rainforests and endangered species. We buy real acres in real places and protect them forever. We focus on rainforests under imminent threat and that represent the last refuge for many species. Save rainforests with WLT-US and make a real difference.
Over 1 million acres saved
World Land Trust-US and our partner World Land Trust in the UK have protected over 1 million acres of threatened rainforests and other critical habitats to protect the most endangered species forever. Click here to see acres saved by WLT-US in 2008. Urgent appeals
