WORLD LAND TRUST AND STEVE BACKSHALL NEED YOU!

Did you know that the Tropical Andes is one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth – yet it’s under threat from deforestation and hunting?

Within this global hotspot, the Llanganates-Sangay Corridor in eastern Ecuador is home to species found nowhere else, including the Critically Endangered Punzan Rainfrog, and many highly threatened species such as the Endangered Mountain Tapir.

That’s why Operation Ocelot’s latest mission is stepping in to help protect this extraordinary landscape. Your support will fund the expansion of our partner EcoMinga’s Olivier Currat Reserve by 485 hectares, safeguarding montane forests, páramo grasslands, and waterfalls, and creating vital links to Sangay National Park.

This will create a safe space for Spectacled Bears, Andean Condors, and countless endemic plants and amphibians, providing a stronghold for life in the Andes.

So what are you waiting for? Join us and Steve Backshall for Operation Ocelot Mission Four and, together, we will save this landscape critical for wildlife survival!

To get involved:

* Start by measuring your school, street or any other area

* Use WLT's calculator on the World Land Trust website to work out a fundraising target

* And then raise money to save the same area in Ecuador's Llanganates-Sangay Corridor
