How we put your gift to work.

The habitat you help save with your donation does so much more than host a single duck; it provides a better future for us all.

A $50 donation helps to:

  • Conserve an area of wetlands equal to the size of an average human home.
  • Safeguard essential habitat for hundreds of wildlife species, including wild turtles and more than 97 other species at risk.
  • Naturally filter out pollutants and retain 41,000 litres of freshwater.
  • Store five tonnes of carbon, preventing greenhouse gas emissions.

Give a Damselfly

Nearly one-eighth of the world’s damselfly species are at risk of extinction, and habitat loss is the leading cause. Your donation translates to real, on-the-ground habitat conservation.
