Africa
Africa hosts some of the world’s most diverse and globally significant ecosystems, yet these landscapes are under severe pressure from climate change, habitat loss and biodiversity decline. Africa is home to around 25% of the world’s biodiversity, meaning conservation here is essential for protecting species, safeguarding ecosystem services and supporting the communities who depend on nature for food, water and livelihoods. World Land Trust is supporting local organisations to protect threatened habitats, expand reserves and restore priority forests and wildlife corridors
Asia
Asia contains some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems, from rainforests to mangroves and mountain ranges, but rapid development, deforestation and climate impacts are driving severe biodiversity loss across the region. Conservation is vital to protect unique species, safeguard ecosystem services and support the communities who rely on nature, and World Land Trust is working with local partners to protect threatened habitats and restore priority forests and corridors.
Central America
Central America is a biodiversity hotspot, home to around 7 percent of the world’s species across dense rainforests, mountains and coastlines, yet these ecosystems face intense pressure from deforestation, land‑use change and climate impacts that threaten species and habitats. Protecting biodiversity here is vital for safeguarding ecosystem services, supporting local and Indigenous communities, and maintaining climate‑regulating forests, and World Land Trust works with partners to conserve threatened habitats, restore forests and strengthen community‑led conservation
South America
South America holds some of the world’s richest ecosystems, including the Amazon, Andes, Patagonian Steppe and Atlantic Forest, but faces severe biodiversity loss driven by deforestation, habitat fragmentation, agricultural expansion and climate change. Conservation is essential to protect globally significant species, maintain carbon‑storing forests and support communities who depend on these landscapes, and World Land Trust collaborates with local organisations to safeguard critical habitats and restore degraded forest corridors.
