Support Conservation Charities

The secret of success is consistency of purpose.
Benjamin Disraeli

 

One of the biggest challenges endangered animals face is the loss of habitat.  

There are some amazing conservation charities working hard to protect land, buy land, care for wildlife habitat and give wildlife a home, which isn't easy in the "land grab" world of the greedy.  Here are just a few of them.   Why not see if you can help?

Wildlife cannot survive without habitat.   With the right habitat in the right conditions and given the respect it needs, wildlife will thrive.

World Land Trust - I've been a long time supporter of the World Land Trust, only a small one, but a supporter nevertheless.  It's an international conservation charity which protects the world's most biologically significant and threatened habitats acre by acre.  Working through a network of worldwide partners, it funds the creation of reserves and provides permanent protection for habitats and wildlife.

Stand for Trees projects protect the world's most wonderful forest landscapes and the communities and wildlife that call them home.  Madagascar, Kenya, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Northern Zimbabwe, Peru, Tanzania, Colombia and Papua New Guinea are amongst the countries Stand for Trees works in.
