World Parks Endowment (www.worldparks.org)

*World Parks Endowment (www.worldparks.org)– provides the opportunity to buy rainforest land and establish new protected areas that conserve rainforests and other sites of high biodiversity value. Our projects target lands that conserve rare or endangered species, and are low in price, so that a minimum amount of funds protect high priority areas. Today, our purchases average around $65 per acre. World Parks also creates endowment funds for tropical park protection and management, to ensure that parks continue to preserve the species and natural resources for which they were created.
Since its founding in 1989, the World Parks Endowment has raised over $2 million, of which less than 1% has been used for administrative and fundraising overhead. We have played a central role in the creation of new protected areas in several countries, working with local organizations to purchase and conserve lands that are extremely high in biodiversity value. We urge you to consider buying an acre in the projects below, or a major gift to endow or establish a park or protected area.
