India is home to 60% of the remaining Asian elephant populations, making their survival in India critical to the survival of the whole species. It is for this very reason that the World Land Trust is partnering the Wildlife Trust of India, who have identified vital corridors as a fast-action bid to protect the Elephants that are left. The WLT and WTI are now working hard to safe-guard

The World Land Trust, which was one of the first UK charities to develop a carbon sequestration programme, is strongly critical of the government's recently announced kite mark for carbon offset projects. Although the WLT would welcome a system which defines a code of best practise and helps the public identify credible offsetting organisations, they feel DEFRA has made a grave mistake refusing

Father Christmas should be a shining example to us all this year. Whilst he is dashing around on his low-carbon sleigh pulled by eight eco-friendly reindeer, we are melting the ice caps around his Arctic home and upsetting the local polar bears and snowy owls with our excessive carbon emissions!

Increasing amounts of biofuels (substitutes for petrol or diesel made from crops such as sugar cane, beet, maize, wheat, oilseed rape and oil palm) are being produced to reduce the carbon dioxide impact of transport. But the World Land Trust argues this requires vast areas of land and is not the best way of using land to mitigate climate change. The WLT would like us all to consider the knock on

For the past 18 years World Land Trust has been 'marketing' acres of rainforest (and other threatened habitats) at £25 an acre. These are real acres in real places, which are purchased and protected in perpetuity on your behalf by our overseas project partners. Rest assured, these are not just 'sponsored' acres which beg the question: Where? How? How long? These are real reserves which can be

The World Land Trust wants to make Earth Day, 20th March 2007, the day the UK makes a real difference to the planet.

On Earth Day this year (March 20th) no doubt there will be considerable focus on climate change, and its effects on the environment. But are we all missing the point? According to John Burton, of the World Land Trust, politicians and environmentalists alike are not confronting the real reasons for climate change. According to John Burton "While the use of fossil fuels and the release of CO2 is

The allegations that carbon offsets harm the environment, heard yesterday by the Parliamentary Environmental Audit Committee, and made by organisations including FERN (Forests and the European Resource Network) and the environmental think tank, Corner House, are ill thought out and jeopardise years of work to protect against the loss of critically endangered habitat and the effects of climate

Hands up everyone who knows what a Thylacine is? Those who said a Tasmanian Wolf or Tasmanian Tiger are right, although it is neither a wolf nor a tiger. This dog-headed, pouched marsupial could have been invented by Dr Doolittle. And unfortunately it is nearly as ficticious, as it has been officially extinct since 1939 when 'Ben', the last known living Thylacine, died in Hobart Zoo. From time to
