Adopt an Acre in Africa
The Nature Conservancy's Adopt an Acre® program now supports efforts to protect the tropical forests of East Africa's Rift Valley - a world of dense rainforests, breathtaking waterfalls, and clear streams and rivers. Within these forests, monkeys and chimpanzees scamper high in the canopies while leopards and elephants tread beneath them. Discover the forests of the Rift Valley and Adopt an Acre® today!

When The Nature Conservancy purchased 218,000 acres from the International Paper Company this year, it was one of the largest forest land conservation sales in U.S. history. But land acquisition is just one example of how the Conservancy works globally to sustain forests - which supply water and livelihoods to billions of people. Learn how the Conservancy is helping both forest conservation and human needs from Arkansas to Indonesia.
