How does land purchasing work?
+

100% of the proceeds from your copy of Sand Songs goes directly to WLT's Buy an Acre program. With each instrument sold, half an acre of land is purchased for conservation by WLT's network of approved land trusts around the world. When the opportunity arises to purchase vulnerable land, the funds will be used.

This direct link between purchase and conservation makes every sale a meaningful contribution to the fight against climate change and habitat loss.
