Urgent Projects

World Land Trust supports a range of urgent conservation projects that need immediate funding. These include long running programmes such as Buy an Acre and Plant a Tree, as well as special appeals that respond to emerging threats to habitats and wildlife. The page also highlights vital projects that are currently without a dedicated funding, giving supporters the chance to make a direct and timely impact where it is needed most.

The Atlantic Forest is one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots, with extremely high levels of endemism. After centuries of deforestation, just 7% of the Atlantic Forest remains, mainly in isolated remnants. Home to around 70% of Brazil’s population, the Atlantic Forest remains threatened by illegal deforestation, urbanisation, industrialisation and poaching.
