Too often, it feels like we only hear about endangered species AFTER they've become extinct, biodiverse areas AFTER they've been destroyed, and charitable appeals AFTER they've failed.
Can we change that? Just this once?
Stretching over 3,800 hectares, the Rothbury Estate in Northumberland is abundant with opportunity. It’s the largest continuous area of land
The Wildlife Trust, a British charity dedicated to protecting and restoring wildlife, is trying to buy the so-called Rothbury Estate, an area of 3,800 hectares (9,390 acres / 38 million m²) of land to protect it.
They need to raise 30 million pounds to do so, and have raised just over 20 million so far. They need to raise the full amount by September 2026.
David Attenborough, who turned 100 years old this year, is campaigning for this appeal. Wouldn't it be nice if we could secure this area? I don't care if you see it as a birthday present for Sir Attenborough or as a present for future generations, but if you have a few pounds to spare, please consider donating at the link above (if you don't want to click on a link, you can just google "Rothbury Estate appeal"). The Wildlife Trust is a real, vetted charity in the UK.
Let's protect this land, protect the wild animals that live there, and keep this land out of the greedy hands of developers. Let's keep this land wild. For animals, for trees, for future generations. For ourselves.
I'm tagging some tumblrs that seem to care about nature/sustainability or who have a large reach, hoping some will reblog this. All reblogs are very appreciated. Please consider making a donation, if you can. If 500.000 people all donated 20 pounds, the target would be met!
