Donate to secure land for habitat regeneration & protection
There are some amazing organisations making it possible for anyone to contribute via donations - big or small - to the purchasing of land for protection and regeneration.
Across the world, there are vast amounts of natural landscape that are in urgent need of protection from development, extractive practices and other harmful activities. Fortunately, there are some amazing organisations out there who are making it possible for anyone to contribute via donations - big or small - to the purchasing of land to secure it for conservation, Indigenous-led land management and regeneration.
The acreages chosen for purchase and reclamation have high biodiversity and conservation values and, once purchased, will remain as vital habitats and refuges to safeguard biodiversity, native wildlife and threatened species.
Here are a few options from different parts of the world you can choose from:
International
