World Land Trust (WLT) is an international conservation charity focused on protecting the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats. Their mission emphasizes enabling people worldwide to protect and restore lands to safeguard biodiversity and the climate. This is achieved by funding the creation of reserves and providing permanent protection for habitats and wildlife, in collaboration with a network of partner organizations and local communities.
The grant program of World Land Trust supports projects aimed at conserving threatened land areas with high biodiversity value. This includes the creation or expansion of protected reserves, restoration of degraded habitats, and conservation-focused management. Priority is given to projects in countries with high biodiversity but lacking resources. WLT’s funding seeks to establish long-term, sustainable conservation efforts, focusing on land acquisition, reserve protection, ecosystem restoration, and other related activities. Projects must aim for a positive impact on biodiversity, local communities, and the climate, without causing net negative effects.
