Habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife worldwide. We believe that by protecting land, we are taking the best action to ensure a future for wildlife.

Buy an Acre

Quick acre comparisons: From 16 tennis courts to the size of Wales

An acre is a unit of area containing 4,046 square metres and approximately the same size as one half of a football (soccer) pitch OR 16 tennis courts.

An acre of rainforest contains up to 86 different species of tree, with the amphibians, birds, insects and mammals that depend on them. It costs just £100 to purchase and protect an acre with WLT, to save this threatened habitat and its wildlife from destruction.
