World Land Trust (WLT) is an international conservation charity that protects the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats.
Working through a network of partner organisations around the world, WLT funds the creation of reserves and provides permanent protection for habitats and wildlife. Partnerships are developed with established and highly respected local organisations who engage support and commitment among the local community.
WLT is an official provider of certified carbon offset credits for participants of the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025. Offsets are available from REDD+ Project for Caribbean Guatemala: The Conservation Coast, implemented by WLT’s long term conservation partner, FUNDAECO.
2024 saw WLT continue to strive for the ambitious goals set out in our strategy with our still growing network of over 50 conservation partners.
Our supporters helped protect six corridors: in Kenya, Guatemala, and Tanzania, and by monitoring wildlife in our supported projects, we found that more than 98% of key biodiversity was preserved. The preservation of so many species, including 135 species classified as globally threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), at a time of global biodiversity crisis is evidence of the impact that can be achieved with direct conservation action.
By partnering with us, you join a global network supporting conservation efforts worldwide and play a vital role in helping realise our vision of a thriving future for wildlife, local communities, and the climate.
Our dedicated teams will help you create a partnership to deliver positive outcomes. We know every partnership is unique, and we’re happy to develop bespoke options from our full range of conservation projects, working with you to align these to your own priority impacts.
WLT’s global network of conservation partners are non-governmental organisations(NGOs) or not for profit/charitable organisations, with shared objectives around the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems. If you are interested in seeking support from WLT and potentially becoming one of our global conservation partners, please refer to our project proposal guidelines.

World Land Trust’s Action Fund provides flexible and urgent support to our many conservation partners around the world.
With our partners working directly in the field and alongside their local communities, it is possible to react as and when challenges arise.
Habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife worldwide. Every day the homes of countless species are being destroyed because of expanding agriculture, mining and logging. All of this leaves wildlife at a much greater risk of extinction.
World Land Trust you takes action, acre by acre.
WLT works with in-country partners to protect and expand forest reserves that are rich in biodiversity and that support long-term conservation goals. Our partners are involved in every step of the journey, to ensure that each tree thrives from seed to sapling and beyond. Reforestation is fundamental to bringing vital forest habitats back to life.
Established in 2005, World Land Trust’s Carbon Balanced programme offers individuals and organisations one of the most effective ways to take action on climate change. After measuring your carbon footprint and reducing what you can, you’ll balance your unavoidable emissions by supporting the protection of forests that store harmful carbon dioxide (CO₂), or by funding reforestation projects that actively remove it from the atmosphere.
