SHELTERS WITHOUT WALLS In the few minutes that it will take to read this leaflet thousands of acres of critical wildlife habitats across Australia will have been lost or degraded. Protecting and preserving our country’s streams, deserts, grasslands, forests and wetlands is essential to the survival of all wildlife. Every acre left unexploited safeguards wildlife that desperately needs our help to survive. Private landholders with a concern for wildlife and habitat protection are therefore in the unique and important position of being able to make a very real contribution to conservation efforts in Australia. The role of private lands has now become both an essential and integral part of the solution to this nation-wide problem. For landowners who wish to ensure that animals on their lands are protected from development, illegal hunting and other threats, regardless of whether they are threatened or endangered, the Wildlife Land Trust (WLT) is a perfect fit. Humane stewardship is the hallmark of our Trust. If you have a “bit of bush” you would like to protect, no matter how small or large (maybe a back block on your farm) we would love to hear from you.

The Wildlife Land Trust was established in Australia by Humane Society International (HSI) in 2007. The Wildlife Land Trust offers the opportunity for sanctuary owners to further contribute to critical conservation programs through membership of a national and global wildlife sanctuary network. The Wildlife Land Trust helps protect not only large and impressive landscapes, but also the smaller, humbler places – remnant native grasslands, wetlands and woodlands etc – that provide for the needs of wildlife. There are currently over 150 WLT sanctuaries covering approximately 1.8 million acres, with members in Australia, USA, Canada, Romania, Belize, Jamaica, South Africa and Indonesia.
