Win a Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip to the Brazilian Rainforests

Press Release dated: Friday, September 08, 2006

The World Land Trust has teamed up with Trips Worldwide and Express newspapers to give readers a painless way of making a small donation to save threatened wildlife, and also an opportunity to win a unique Rainforest Experience holiday for two.

With nearly 20 years experience in protecting some of the world's most biologically diverse habitats, the World Land Trust has an extensive knowledge of developing and managing successful conservation projects in the field. The Trust was launched in 1989, by the doyen of the zoo world, the late Gerald Durrell and its patrons are Sir David Attenborough and David Gower. Through its network of local partners the WLT has been instrumental in the permanent protection of more than 350,000 acres (140,000 hectares) of rainforests and other critically threatened habitats in Central and South America, India, the Philippines and the UK.

The Express newspapers competition runs from 10-15 September. All readers have to do is text WLT EXPRESS followed by your name and details to 87505. Texts cost £1.50 plus standard network charges and World Land Trust (a registered charity) will receive approximately 80p for each call. Alternatively you can telephone 0906 751 3069 leaving your name and contact details. Calls cost 75p per minute from a BT landline (average call length 150 secs), and WLT will receive approximately £1.20 for each call. There is no limit on the number of entries per individual and every call adds vital funds to WLT's urgent land purchase and wildlife protection projects. Winners will be selected at random from all entries received by midnight on Friday 15 September.

The prize is a holiday for two in the Atlantic Rainforests of Brazil, sponsored and organised by Trips Worldwide staying at a field lodge with all mod cons. The lucky couple will be taken on personal tours of the rainforest, enjoy spectacular views of Tres Picos National Park, see rare and wonderful wildlife and enjoy evenings sipping Caipirinhas while watching the multicoloured hummingbirds using the nectar feeders on the deck. Definitely worth an outlay of little more than £1.

Competition open Sunday 10 Sep - Friday 15 Sep 2006
