Adopt an Acre All Around the World

Since the Adopt an Acre® program began in 1991, more than 30,000 people, schools and organizations have raised $22 million to protect 600,000 acres in South America, Asia, Central America, the Caribbean and Africa. But there is much more work to be done.

You can help protect threatened habitats by adopting acres in critical locations around the world, including:
