Hey Iris, I think it’s wonderful that you want to help protect natural habitats. I don’t know of any charities like the ones you’re describing offhand, but when I’m looking at new charities I try to figure out:
-What does the charity actually do day to day? What will my money be buying? (i.e. research staff time, new equipment)
-How much equipment, staff time, etc can I get for each $1000 I spend?
-What do I think that money will achieve? For example, how many acres of the Amazon could my donation protect, and for how long? (This is the hardest part but I try to give my best guess)
Good luck with your search and please let us know what you find! :)
