World Parks Endowment/World Land Trust-US

A unique fund to conserve rainforests and other critical areas worldwide by buying land and through effective management.

How do you help people in my community?

We give US donors a way to make a positive difference in international conservation.  Contributions are tax deductible and the organization has very low overhead, so donations go where they are intended. 

Why do you need my support?

.

Very few organizations are promoting the establishments of small private reserves in the tropics, as we do.  These reserves are targeted on critically endangered species and complement the large national protected areas set up by national governments but without funds or staffing for management.

How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

Historically our administrative and fundraising expenses are less than 2% of what we have raised.  Staff operate out of home offices, so we have no office building, no fleet of cars, and a minimal ecological footprint.

Can I Volunteer? How?

We accept volunteers only for international programs.
