Gifts in Wills
Leave a Conservation Legacy
Many of us spend time considering the world we will leave behind. Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to protect our planet’s wild ecosystems, long into the future.
“Leaving a legacy to protect our beautiful planet seemed like the most natural thing to me. When I came across Rainforest Trust UK, I had a renewed sense of hope: here was an organisation protecting the most biodiverse places on Earth—and doing it well. I trust them completely to use my gift in the best possible way. It warms my heart to think that long after I’m gone, I’ll be able to keep on helping the animals who have left me in awe over the years, and the beautiful habitats that make my heart soar.” — Sylvie Macle, Rainforest Trust UK supporter
