Conservation Projects by the World Land Trust

Saved: 375,000 acres of wildlife habitats

Since its foundation in 1989 the World Land Trust has helped its partner organisations purchase and protect over 375,000 acres of threatened wildlife habitats.

We have launched a new appeal to create corridors for elephants and tigers. See our fundraising page on Justgiving.com.

Countries with active and successfully completed WLT conservation projects are in blue (click the country names for more information). Countries in grey represent other areas where the Trust has project partners, but currently no projects.

The map links to the Trust's current active conservation project areas as well as areas with successfully completed projects.

Links to other projects related pages can be found below.

You can support a conservation project by making a donation, or a gift donation. Or, even better, become a WLT Partner by making a regular donation.

Check out our wildlife resources on Wildlife Focus, including photos, videos and a webcam from our project areas.

See maps of our project areas, including interactive maps and Google Earth coordinates.
