Purchase of Nature
“The policy of buying and protecting land is the most direct and certain road to conservation. It deserves the support of all who care about the survival of the wild places of the world.”
Sir David Attenborough, patron of IUCN NL partner World Land Trust.
IUCN NL Small grants for the Purchase of Nature (SPN) enables local partners to take direct action and save nature. SPN provides funds for the purchase and protection of threatened wildlife habitats and vulnerable ecosystems. Over 22.000 hectares are secured all over the world.
