Chocolate Easter Acres - save wildlife, eat organic chocolate

Press Release dated: Thursday, March 20, 2003

It would be a sad Easter indeed that did not include a chocolate indulgence and this year the World Land Trust is giving you an opportunity to save a piece of tropical rainforest and sample some of the world's finest fair trade chocolate at the same time.

The World Land Trust and Green & Black's are working together on a special Chocolate Easter Acre promotion. £25 saves One Acre of tropical forest in Ecuador or One Acre of coastal steppe in Patagonia. As well as receiving a personalised certificate recording your support and the latest issue of WLT News, if you make your donation over the Easter period, you will also receive a free bar of Maya Gold Chocolate.

The World Land Trust's first project was in Belize, and now over 250,000 acres of forests and other habitats in Belize have been purchased and are being protected in perpetuity. And much of this land has been purchased with the help of individuals who have 'bought' their own acre. Green & Black's have been pioneering high quality Fairtrade chocolate since 1994. Grown in the shade of tropical forest trees in Belize and working with local Maya communities, Green & Black's are helping save tropical forest and ensuring a good price for cocoa for the communities they support.

Eating Chocolate and Saving Threatened Wilderness go hand in hand this Easter. You can either make the donation for yourself and keep quiet about the chocolate or on behalf of someone else and let them benefit from your generosity!
