Big Match Fortnight

Date and Time: 2 – 16 October 2013

Big Match Fortnight is World Land Trust‘s (WLT) major fundraising effort for 2013. During the fortnight all donations to WLT will be matched making them go further. This year funds raised during Big Match Fortnight will go towards WLT’s Borneo Rainforest Appeal. This means that donations received during the fortnight will help safeguard land to connect forests in the Lower Kinabatangan region of Malaysian Borneo. This wildlife corridor, once secured, will create a safe haven for Orang-utans and other endangered species.

WLT Patron Chris Packham is backing WLT’s efforts to save the Orang-utan. “Orang-utans. Absolutely extraordinary animals and easy to see why they generate so much affection. And when you look into their eyes it’s like a reflection in a not so distant mirror.”

Chris is championing WLT’s fundraising fortnight: “World Land Trust’s Big Match Fortnight gives everyone a chance to save precious habitat for Orang-utans, Pygmy Elephants and other critically threatened wildlife in Malaysian Borneo. Please add your support. Thank you.”

WLT is grateful to certain very generous donors whose pledges of £135,000 have made Big Match Fortnight possible. Please help WLT raise £300,000 during Big Match Fortnight. You can donate online, by phone or by post with a cheque (dated between 2 – 16 October 2013).
