 More than 265,000 acres saved this year!
2011 has been an exciting year for WLT-US! We forged a closer alliance with Nature and Culture International, though we remain an independent organization with a clear mission to save the most imperiled rainforest ecosystems and endangered species in Latin America, using land purchase and protection as our primary strategy. To that end we are proud that this year we have already directly helped save over 265,000 acres (and growing!). Learn more about our unique strategy.
