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.

Situated in southwest Armenia buffering the Khosrov Forest State Reserve, the 30,000 ha (74,000-acre) Caucasus Wildlife Refuge (CWR) is the only privately protected area in the South Caucasus. The Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) leases the land from local communities, which provides the latter with an income for village improvements.
