World Land Trust Conservation ProjectsCurrent Active Projects:Urgent Land Purchase ProjectsBrazil: REGUA Project The World Land Trust played an important part in establishing a reserve in the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil in the year 2000. The Atlantic rainforest is one of the most important eco-regions in the world, but only 7% of the original area remains, and it is becoming increasingly fragmented. The Trust is therefore raising funds for Reserva Ecologica De Guapi Assu (REGUA) in order to increase the reserve and protect the Atlantic rainforest against further losses. Read more about WLT's
tropical forest conservation project in Brazil » Ecuador: Tropical Forest Project
The Tropical Forest project helps safeguard Ecuador's diverse wildlife in an area where over 80% of the tropical rainforests have already been destroyed, leaving many species globally threatened. The project protects critically important habitats for many of Ecuador's rarest bird species, as well as a wide variety of other animals such as Jaguar and Howler Monkey. There are currently seven reserves, all managed with the support and involvement of local communities.

The Wild Lands Elephant Corridor project helps save an important population of Indian elephants by preventing forest fragmentation which seriously threaten the elephants survival. The corridor links together two wildlife reserves and not only provides a safe passage for elephants, but also a haven for other wildlife. India and the Philippines: Reef & Mangrove Projects
The Reef & Mangrove Appeal assists the recovery of mangroves and restoration of coral reefs, both of which are incredibly diverse ecosystems with important roles in protecting the coasts against the forces of the sea. Two projects are currently under way: Mangrove replanting in the Philippines and coral replanting and restoration in India. Read more about

» Paraguay: Chaco/Pantanal Project
In 2005 a legacy enabled the creation of a 8,650 acre (3,600 ha) reserve in the grass and wetland habitat of the Chaco-Pantanal. Since then the Chaco-Pantanal reserve has been increased and the project has expanded to include land purchase of Interior Atlantic Forest habitat and land purchase and creation of a brand new reserve in the Dry Chaco.

Ranch of Hopes (Estancia la Esperanza) consists of 15,000 acres of coastal steppe habitat in the Valdes Peninsula, Patagonia. The reserve is an official Wildlife Refuge and supporters can help fund the removal of old fencing to improve access for guanacos and other wildlife, as well as other work at the refuge. Restoration Ecology Projects
As part of the Carbon Balanced programme the WLT's Restoration Ecology Projects help rehabilitate cleared and degraded habitat. This provides two-fold benefits: regenerating important wildlife habitat and removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Individuals and businesses can contribute to the WLT's conservation projects by offsetting carbon dioxide emissions that they are unable to avoid.
