WLT ebulletin 10th anniversary
Ten years ago, WLT launched its first ebulletin. Back in 2002 the ebulletin featured our successful land purchase in Patagonia, the Coastal Steppe Project. To remind us of those early ebulletins we couldn't resist featuring this great picture of a young guanaco on the beach adjacent to the WLT-funded Estancia la Esperanza (Ranch of Hopes) in Patagonia. In the coming year we plan to bring you updates from some of our first land purchase and protection projects, including Belize and the Philippines.
