Why we need you.
Approximately 12% of planet Earth is protected by law in recognition of its crucial role in providing the food, water, and stable climate essential for sustaining life.  Unfortunately it’s often difficult to enforce this protection, which is where Land Guardians can help.

Your role as a Land Guardian.
By adopting protected park land, your money from your donation will be funneled directly to that territory, and the efforts in place to conserve it.
By adopting protected parkland, you become a Guardian for the plot you’ve chosen.  However, you won’t own it, and you can’t buy it, sell it or rent it.  You’re simple adopting it.  Your donation will be channeled directly to that territory, and the efforts to conserve it.

How it works.

• You can adopt land for yourself or dedicate it to loved ones, schools or businesses in any of the 77,000 protected parks around the world.
• Google Earth provides satellite images of all the protected parks.
• Over 90% of your donation goes directly to the park you have chosen.
• A plaque that you design will be designated for your plot and viewed online for as long as you serve as Land Guardian.
• Participate in forums by providing input on how your donation is spent, and receive updates on the projects you fund.
• Engage in conservation initiatives like mapping and monitoring from your home.
