A Living Memorial - Protect Rainforests

Finding an appropriate way of remembering a loved one is not always easy. Traditionally, many people send flowers to the funeral, but these will only last a few hours before they wilt and die. Other more permanent stone memorials can seem impersonal.

By saving Rainforests with the World Land Trust, you can help create a living memorial which will last forever. Rainforests are positively teeming with life, from rare insects in the undergrowth to exotic and colourful birds in canopy. Sadly these beautiful areas of wilderness are under threat. Rainforests are being destroyed and future generations risk losing this precious natural resource.

Since 1989 the World Land Trust has provided its supporters with a positive way of helping to save Rainforests, by purchasing acres and providing the support network needed to ensure their continued survival. For a donation of just £150 the World Land Trust will be able to save 1500 Rainforest trees. To commemorate your donation the World Land Trust will also plant a new tree in their UK reserve at Kites Hill, and enter your name (or that of the person you are commemorating) in their register of support.

Saving Rainforests really makes a special memorial and means that future generations will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of these unique habitats.

David Attenborough, Patron of the World Land Trust said,

“This is one of the world’s great wildernesses. World Land Trust’s efforts to protect this wonderful land deserve all the support they can get”.

Save an Acre of Rainforest with the World Land Trust

Why not buy an acre of Patagonian Steppe, or support their new project to create a wildlife corridor for Indian elephants? For just £25.00 you can help save endangered species in areas like the Amazon basin, and protect the habitat of sea lions and whales on the Patagonian coastline.

What is the World Land Trust?

The World Land Trust is an international conservation charity (Reg. No. 1001291), based in Halesworth, a rural town in Suffolk. Since its foundation in 1989 as the World Wide Land Conservation Trust, the World Land Trust has been working to preserve the World’s most biologically important and threatened lands, and has helped purchase and protects over 3000,000 acres of habitats rich in wildlife, in Belize, Costa Rica, the Philippines, South America and the UK.
