Join us as we save Guatemala's Laguna Grande, the home of 700+ species and a major carbon sink. Your donations will be doubled from 6-19 October 2021 together and with your help, we can protect over 3,000 acres of tropical forest for posterity!

Story

The World Sustainability Awards can help World Land Trust (WLT) save Laguna Grande, the tropical home of more than 700 species and a major carbon sink of forests, wetlands, mangroves and seagrass meadows in Caribbean Guatemala.  

As our official charity partner for the awards, donations made during the awards ceremony on Wednesday 13th October (and any time between 6-19th October) will be doubled as we help WLT and their partner FUNDAECO purchase and protect three properties of tropical rainforest, in an area where 80% of lowland forest has already been lost to timber and cattle ranching. 

With your help, we can make sure the destruction of nature doesn't go any further as all donations to WLT's Guardians of Nimla Ha' appeal will be funding the three-fold expansion of the Laguna Grande Reserve, from 1,668 to nearly 5,000 acres. 

As we celebrate corporate and social sustainability excellence on the global platform that these awards represent, helping to save Laguna Grande, an important carbon sink, is one of the most effective ways for business to make a tangible impact against the climate crisis in the year of COP26.

Please give generously, thank you.
