Letters from the Field

The Adopt an Acre program connects people around the world with the plants and animals of some of the most vibrant and intriguing places on the planet.

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.

Thank you for your support of the Adopt an Acre program. Please take a moment to read these thank you letters from the site directors of each of our critical Adopt an Acre program locations. You can even post a widget of stunning photos from your favorite Adopt an Acre location to share your love for nature with others on your web page, social network profile or blog.
