Individual supporter scheme enabling donors to fund the purchase and protection of land acre-by-acre to safeguard wildlife habitat. This is a direct-giving programme where supporters contribute to habitat conservation through land acquisition.
About this grant
Buy an Acre is a fundraising appeal run by World Land Trust (WLT) that invites donors to contribute money toward the purchase of threatened habitat, acre by acre, in order to protect wildlife and biodiversity. The core premise is that habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife worldwide, and that direct land protection—secured through purchase, lease, or community-led stewardship agreements—is the most effective conservation action available. Funds raised through Buy an Acre are directed to WLT's network of local partner organisations operating in some of the world's most threatened ecosystems across Africa, Asia, Central America, and South America. WLT works with these partners to identify, acquire, and manage land for long-term conservation benefit, supporting both biodiversity and climate resilience. The appeal is a public-facing donation mechanism rather than a competitive grant programme. Supporters can give any amount, with contributions pooled to fund land acquisition projects selected by WLT and its partners.
