What We Do

World Land Trust works with local partner organisations across the world to protect and restore some of the planet’s most threatened habitats. For more than three decades, securing land for nature has been central to our mission, whether through purchase, lease, or community led agreements that support long term stewardship.

Protecting Land

From the very beginning World Land Trust has been supporting our partners to safeguard threatened habitats by securing land for long‑term protection.
