World Land Trust - 10 ways to Save Rainforest

10 Ways You Can Help Save Rainforest and Other Threatened Wildlife Habitats

You really can make a difference: with the support of individuals schools and businesses WLT has helped save over 400,000 acres so far.

Here are 10 ways you can help other than making a donation - we are sure you will find something that suits you.

One of the many schools, who have fundraised for WLT

1. Fundraise to help save wildlife habitats

A great way to save wildlife habitats is to get involved with fundraising. Carry out a sponsored event, collect online or get your school together and see how many acres you can save (you may even earn a place in our Hall of Fame)!

4. Raise money when you sell on eBay

All you need to do is select World Land Trust as the benefiting charity and for each item successfully sold on eBay, a percentage of the price (chosen by you) is directed to WLT. The listed charity items will appear with an “eBay for charity icon” along with the WLT logo.
