Nature conservation NGO: We are dedicating our TiME to saving our planet’s ecosystems & biodiversity Why Care?

As the cornerstone of life for both people and the planet, biodiversity—the variety of life on the planet - —is not a luxury. Whether a small village in Africa or a metropolis in Asia, humans depend on the many benefits biodiversity provides, including clean water, food security, climate regulation and pandemic control. Natural systems weakened by biodiversity loss are unable to offer those benefits, resulting in a degraded and hotter future for both people and nature. Be the One to Save the Last One
Jaguars and yellow-tailed woolly monkeys in the Peruvian Amazon. Hawksbill and leatherback turtles in the Belizean Turnoff Atoll. These are just a few of the species and habitats our members have protected since TiME’s founding in 2016. Given the many threats our planet faces, everyone, everywhere should have a voice in protecting the planet. For as little as $1US, you can join TiME and help us acquire more landscapes that provide homes to the species we love. So join us today and help TiME continue to protect important places around the world. Be the ONE today with as little as a ONE-dollar donation and VOTE on the habitats that we purchase and protect in a fully transparent process.

100% of the money donated by members goes towards conservation.

Most people have never heard of the White-lipped Peccary.

Yet entire forests notice when they disappear.

These highly social mammals travel in herds that can number more than 100 individuals, spending up to two-thirds of their day moving through the forest in search of food. As they roam, they disperse seeds, shape vegetation, and help maintain the health of the ecosystems they call home.

But a lifestyle built on movement comes with a challenge: they need large, connected forests to survive.

That is one reason protecting Chocó Forest mattered.

By securing the last large tract of Chocó lowland rainforest in Ecuador, TiME helped connect more than 3,000 km² of protected habitat, creating space not only for White-lipped Peccaries, but also for Jaguars, Harpy Eagles, Great Green Macaws, Spider Monkeys, and dozens of other threatened species.

Sometimes saving a forest means protecting the journeys that happen within it.

Too often, conservation is measured by a single moment: the land is purchased, the campaign ends, and the story moves on.

But the most important work begins after that.
Serra Bonita, in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, is one of TiME's success stories. Since the reserve was expanded, local partners have trained park rangers, restored degraded areas, monitored wildlife, strengthened environmental education programs, and built infrastructure to support the return of threatened species.
A protected habitat is not a finish line.

It is a beginning.

Because conservation is not just about saving land. It is about creating the conditions for nature to recover, communities to engage, and ecosystems to thrive for generations to come.

This is what long-term impact looks like.

Meet the Spectacled Bear — the only bear species native to South America.

Named for the pale markings around its eyes that sometimes resemble glasses, each bear has a unique pattern, like a fingerprint. But not every Spectacled Bear actually has "spectacles."

Found in the cloud forests and mountains of the Andes, these remarkable bears are also among the most herbivorous of all bear species, feeding mainly on fruits, bamboo, cacti, and other plants. As they travel through the forest, they help disperse seeds and support the regeneration of entire ecosystems.

Today, the Spectacled Bear is classified as Vulnerable, with habitat loss, mining, deforestation, and poaching continuing to threaten its future. Scientists estimate that populations have declined by around 30% over the past three generations.

Protecting habitat means protecting species like the Spectacled Bear — and the forests that countless other plants and animals call home.

Dakatcha Woodland is crucial for the survival of rare species like the endangered Clarke's Weaver, which nests exclusively there. This coastal forest also shelters the endangered Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew, Sokoke Pipit, and Sokoke Scops Owl.

Thanks to TiME supporters, 300 acres of this ecosystem have been protected, leading to habitat restoration, wildlife monitoring, tree planting, and community partnerships.

Protecting such habitats safeguards not just individual species but entire unique ecosystems.

The Black-headed Spider Monkey is one of the rainforest's most important gardeners.

Spending nearly its entire life in the forest canopy, this Endangered primate travels long distances in search of fruit, using its powerful prehensile tail like a fifth limb to move effortlessly between trees.

But these monkeys do more than navigate the rainforest, they help create it.
As they feed, they disperse seeds across vast areas, helping new trees grow and maintaining the diversity of the forest. Scientists consider spider monkeys among the most important seed dispersers in tropical ecosystems.

Their future, however, depends on large, connected forests. Habitat loss and fragmentation have contributed to an estimated population decline of more than 50% over the past 45 years.

That's why protecting places like Ecuador's Chocó Forest matters.
When we protect habitat, we don't just save species. We protect the ecological relationships that keep entire forests alive.

El Castillo is a rare stretch of primary cloud forest in Colombia’s Tropical Andes.
Protecting this land creates a vital wildlife corridor, and safeguards species found nowhere else on Earth.
Here are just five of the lives this forest protects.

Now protected forever, thanks to you!

Deforestation doesn’t just remove trees.
It changes entire ecosystems.
When forests disappear, animals lose their habitats, migration routes are cut off, water systems become unstable, and soil begins to erode.

Over time, the effects spread far beyond the forest itself:
• biodiversity declines
• temperatures rise
• water sources dry up
• ecosystems become more vulnerable to fires and extreme weather

Some species can adapt.
Many can’t.
And once old-growth forests are lost, they can take hundreds of years to recover, if they recover at all.

Protecting forests is about more than nature.
It’s about protecting the balance our planet depends on 🌍

Every delay, every shortcut, every “we’ll deal with it later” leaves a mark — on land, on species, on ecosystems that can’t opt out of our timelines.

TiME exists to turn intention into action. To make protection immediate, measurable, and permanent. Because nature has been paying attention all along — and it doesn’t get a second draft.
