From ghosts and witches to vampires and little devils, these species sound like they've stepped straight out of a Halloween story. But don't let their spooky names fool you. Each plays an important role in the ecosystems they call home.

Meet six fascinating species found in landscapes protected by WLT and our conservation partners around the world:

Little-devil Poison Frog
Despite its mischievous name, this tiny amphibian helps keep insect populations in balance in Ecuador's Canandé Reserve.

Hairy-legged Vampire Bat
Unlike the monsters of folklore, vampire bats are highly specialised mammals with heat-sensing adaptations that help them locate blood vessels in their prey.

White Witch Moth
One of the largest moths in the world, with a wingspan that can exceed 25 cm, this spectacular species is more enchanting than eerie.

Northern Ghost Bat
These pale bats are named for their ghostly appearance and are among the few carnivorous bat species in the Americas.

Deadly Nightshade
Beautiful but notorious, this native plant has long featured in folklore and history thanks to its highly toxic berries.

Ghost Anole
This elusive lizard's colouring helps it blend perfectly into tree trunks and forest habitats in Belize.

On South Africa's Elephant Coast, we're working with our partner Wild Tomorrow to reconnect fragmented habitats before they are lost to commercial land use. 🐘

The map shows how the land has been strategically selected to create a corridor between two large, existing nature reserves. This will give elephants, leopards, rhinos and hundreds of other species the chance to move freely through the landscape once again. It's the space they need to find food, find a mate, raise young and adapt to a changing climate.

Our StoryMap shows this conservation in action. You'll see that through our Autumn Appeal, your donation doesn't just help secure a single piece of land. It helps strengthen an entire connected landscape, creating safe passage for wildlife across a vast area. It's a powerful example of what long-term conservation can achieve when landscapes are protected and reconnected.

Why do so many people care about nature, yet biodiversity loss continues at an unprecedented pace?

Today, at the Blue Earth Summit in London, we're joining a panel discussion exploring how better storytelling can help bridge the gap between concern and action: From Apathy to Action: How Better Stories Can Save Nature.

If you're attending the summit, join us from 09:10-09:55 at the Sessions Stage.

Our panel features Dan Bradbury, Director of Brand and Communications at World Land Trust; Paul Goodenough, writer, producer and entrepreneur; and Elizabeth Corse, Founder of DisCom.

Together, we'll discuss how conservation organisations, brands and storytellers can move beyond facts and fear-based messaging to create narratives that inspire hope, participation and lasting change.

Ahead of the session, please watch and share our short film to help spread the message that nature needs more than awareness. It needs action.

As we continue to celebrate our patron Sir David Attenborough's 100th year, we're highlighting 100 remarkable species that showcase the extraordinary diversity of life on Earth.

In our eighth instalment, we're turning the spotlight on insects 🐜🦋🐝

Meet...
Rainbow Cuckoo Wasp - A dazzling jewel-coloured wasp that lays its eggs in other insects' nests, earning it the title of the "cuckoo of the wasp world."
Tortoise Beetle – Some tortoise beetles can change colour from shimmering gold to reddish-brown when disturbed, making them one of the insect world's most surprising shape-shifters.
Honeybee - A single honeybee can visit up to 5,000 flowers in one day while collecting nectar and pollen.
Dragon Mantis - This remarkable mantis mimics a dragonfly, helping it evade predators and ambush prey.
Luna Moth - Adult Luna moths do not eat or drink because they emerge from their cocoons without a functional mouth or a digestive system. They live for just a week, focused solely on reproduction.
Hairy Dragonfly - Dragonflies spend most of their lives underwater before emerging as skilled aerial hunters.
Leafcutter Ant - Rather than eating the leaves they collect, leafcutter ants use them to cultivate a fungus food source.
Monarch Butterfly - Famous for one of the world's longest insect migrations, travelling up to 3,000 miles (4,800 km).
Orchard Spider - Creates intricate circular webs decorated with striking zig-zag silk patterns.
Paula's Clearwing Butterfly - Transparent wings help this beautiful butterfly disappear into its surroundings.

In case you missed it, we've launched our Autumn Appeal, and during Big Match Fortnight (7-21 October), every donation will be doubled.

An urgent opportunity has arisen to protect land in two globally important conservation landscapes in Bolivia and South Africa.

In Bolivia, agricultural expansion is threatening vital habitat. With your support, we can help secure one of the last strongholds of the Critically Endangered Blue-throated Macaw, with only around 700 individuals remaining in the wild.

In South Africa, Leopards and other iconic wildlife face increasing pressure as habitats become fragmented by commercial land use. We have the chance to strengthen a vital wildlife corridor by securing threatened land before it is lost.

By protecting these landscapes, we can give some of the world's most endangered species the space they need to survive and thrive.

Donate between 7 and 21 October and your gift will go twice as far, helping to safeguard these critical habitats for wildlife. 💚

Two Threatened Landscape. One Urgent Mission. 🚨

An urgent opportunity has arisen to secure land in two globally important conservation landscapes.

In Bolivia, only around 700 Blue-throated Macaws remain in the wild. Agricultural expansion is putting vital habitat at risk, but we have a small window of opportunity to protect one of the species' last strongholds before it's lost.

In South Africa, iconic wildlife such as Leopards face growing pressure as habitats become fragmented. By securing threatened land, we can help strengthen a crucial wildlife corridor and keep landscapes connected.

This is a chance to protect wildlife in two biodiversity hotspots.

And if you donate during Big Match Fortnight (7-21 October), your gift will be doubled through matched funding, meaning your support can go twice as far for nature.

Head to our website to donate and help protect these vital habitats. 💚 https://donate.worldlandtrust.org/?campaign=AA-SMO

The return of the Blue-throated Macaw is one of conservation's most remarkable success stories.

Once thought to be on the brink of extinction, this extraordinary bird has made an inspiring comeback thanks to years of dedicated conservation work. But recovery doesn't happen overnight, and it doesn't happen by accident.

For nearly two decades, World Land Trust supporters have helped protect vital habitat in Bolivia alongside our partner Asociación Armonía, giving Blue-throated Macaws the space they need to survive and thrive.

Their story shows what can happen when people come together to protect nature.
