Protecting the world’s most threatened habitats with World Land Trust
Global
Overview
World Land Trust (WLT) is an international conservation charity dedicated to protecting the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats. By partnering with established local organizations, WLT helps create reserves and ensures permanent protection for critical habitats and wildlife, while also engaging local communities in conservation efforts.
How We Support
Recognizing the catastrophic loss of nature that places our planet and all life at risk, B&R has recognized the need for urgent and bold action to return us to a path of recovery, where people and nature thrive. To demonstrate our commitment to the health of our one planet and our commitment to the Glasgow Declaration’s “Regenerate” Pathway, we will be collaborating with organizations working at scale to restore and protect ecosystems and safeguarding biodiversity.
Butterfield & Robinson has partnered with World Land Trust, committing US$50,000 annually for the next three years to numerous WLT’s conservation programs.
This includes the the Buy an Acre program, supporting the purchase and protection of some of the world’s most at-risk habitats; the Keepers of the Wild ranger program and a wildlife corridor restoration and community tree-planting program.
B&R’s ongoing support is helping protect biodiversity hotspots across the globe, from tropical rainforests to drylands, supporting communities and securing critical habitats for numerous species under threat.

Buy an Acre Program: Brazil, 2022
B&R’s financial support directly contributes to the purchase of vital land in threatened regions, safeguarding habitats for endangered species. This ensures that these areas are permanently protected for future generations.

Keepers of the Wild: Global, 2023
Employs local men and women as rangers to protect vulnerable habitats. These rangers are vital to daily conservation efforts, species monitoring, and long-term ecosystem health, confronting both natural and human threats on the frontlines of conservation.

Wildlife Corridor Restoration Project: India, 2024
Restoring 200 hectares of degraded forest in Northeast India’s D’ering-Dibru Saikhowa Elephant Corridor. This effort involves planting 150,000 trees and fostering natural regeneration, benefiting local communities and over 500 elephants, along with tigers, leopards, and other iconic species. The corridor, situated in a critical biodiversity hotspot, also supports the critically endangered Bengal Florican and helps preserve essential habitats in the Eastern Himalayas.
