The World Land Trust seeks to conserve the World's tropical forests, as well as other biologically important habitats, which are threatened by destruction.
By helping to purchase land outright the Trust can save tropical forests and their wildlife. And by initiating conservation projects for sustainable development, the living conditions of the local people can be improved, thus lessening the risks to other parts of the forest.
The WLT was originally set up to raise funds for the Programme for Belize, and has been responsible for raising over $2-million for land purchase and research into sustainable use of the forest. By 1996 all the loans had been paid off and the WLT established FRIENDS OF BELIZE for those interested in the long-term conservation of Belize's wildlife and natural resources. It is now possible to visit the PFB owned forests and stay at the La Milpa (formerly the Rio Bravo) Research Station.
