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.

Dakatcha is one of the most threatened coastal forest remnants in Africa; 50% of it has already been converted to farms or pasture. Nevertheless, this Important Bird Area (IBA) still provides crucial habitat for Endangered species like the Sokoke Pipit, Sokoke Scops Owl and Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew.
