SavingSpecies Information

SavingSpecies saves and restores Earth’s biodiversity. We use conservation science to decide the best places to spend donations. SavingSpecies offers a unique way for you to help preserve biodiversity and to reduce your carbon footprint at the same time. We purchase degraded land in areas of the world's highest biodiversity, laser targeting the world's rarest species. Our projects include saving species such as: Hummingbirds and orchids in the Colombian Andes The Golden Lion Tamarin in Brazil's Atlantic coast forest The Bamboo Lemur in Madagascar Using the best science to identify top priority areas, we give money to local NGOs buy the land. Then we engage local communities to restore and protect the land. The trees we plant soak up carbon from the atmosphere. So when you help us buy land in high biodiversity areas you are reducing your carbon footprint and helping to preserve biodiversity!
