LOVE LIVING WITH HOST? Rebook for September 2025
Earlier this month, we launched the #HostEnvironmentalPledge 2019. The aim of the campaign is to reduce energy consumption at all Host locations across the UK and Ireland.
At the end of the campaign, as a result of reducing our consumption, we will donate money to our nominated charities; BulliesOut, Planet Patrol and World Land Trust.
For this reason, over the coming weeks we’re taking a closer look at each of the three charities and the work they do. First of all, starting with World Land Trust.
World Land Trust (WLT) is an international conservation charity that protects the most biologically significant and threatened habitats acre by acre.
Through a network of partner organisations around the world, WLT funds the creation of reserves; providing permanent protection for habitats and wildlife. Partnerships are developed with established and highly respected local organisations who engage support and commitment among the local community.
Mission: To protect and sustainably manage natural ecosystems around the world; to develop partnerships with local individuals, communities and organisations and to raise awareness in the UK and elsewhere, of the need for conservation.
World Land Trust started in 1989 and is now celebrating its 30th year, you can follow their history and key moments via the timeline on their website. Some of WLT’s more recent projects and most noteworthy stories are highlighted below:

WLT has a number of notable patrons including Steve Backshall, David Gower, Chris Packham and the incredible Sir David Attenborough.
Sir David Attenborough is Britain’s best known and most loved Natural History Filmmaker. Sir David has supported the work of the WLT since its foundation in 1989; and he became a WLT patron in 2003.
