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.
In South Africa’s Overberg region, lowland renosterveld is one of the world’s richest plant habitats, home to over 600 species within the Cape Floristic Region. Many threatened bird species also find refuge here, including the Endangered Black Harrier and Cape Vulture.
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.
