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 project site falls within the Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot and the Llanganates-Sangay Corridor Key Biodiversity Area.

The Llanganates-Sangay Corridor in eastern Ecuador contains an exceptional diversity of highly threatened species. Among these are several which, until recently, were unknown to science. These include the Critically Endangered and endemic Punzan Rainfrog, first discovered by our partner Fundación EcoMinga (EcoMinga) in 2014.
