40 for 40

“The support that is given to the World Land Trust is support that goes directly to the place where it’s needed.” Sir David Attenborough

40 FOR 40 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WORLD LAND TRUST

40 for 40 is our initiative with the World Land Trust to protect the world’s precious natural habitats.

Every time you purchase 40% minimum recycled content tiles, we’ll donate 40 pence to the work of the trust through its Buy an Acre programme.

To date, the World Land Trust has protected more than 2,000,000 acres of precious natural habitats through land purchase.

It’s our goal to ensure that we contribute to the crucial work of the trust through 40 for 40.

Sir David has supported the World Land Trust since it was founded in 1989; one of the founders being John Burton (Work Land Trust’s CEO).

John’s creative and innovative approach to raising funds to save rainforests and other important wildlife habitats was one of the main reasons that Sir David became World Land Trust’s official Patron in 2003.
