N/A/Humane World for Animals
Our sanctuaries
Since its founding in 1993, Wildlife Land Trust, alone or in partnership with other conservation groups, has participated in the protection of wildlife habitat in 37 states and nine foreign countries. Working directly with private landowners, we have established numerous permanent wildlife sanctuaries. On these safe havens for wild animals, recreational and commercial hunting and trapping will always be prohibited.
