Ways to donate
The formula for success in wilderness conservation: donate 1 per cent of turnover
By donating 1% of your turnover to forest conservation, you’re not only giving money, but also demonstrating your deep commitment to the environment.
We are a partner of the 1% for the Planet initiative. Using our donation receipt, you can then submit your contribution directly to the initiative following your donation and receive the 1% badge for use in your communications.

Offset your carbon footprint and donate directly

Your donation goes towards this SDG
-
SDG 6 – Water & Sanitation
The rainforest is a vital part of global water cycles. Your protected rainforest therefore helps to preserve clean water. -
SDG 12 – Consumption
Thanks to donations, we are able to focus our communication and environmental education efforts in such a way that patterns of consumption and production are understood, scrutinised and, ideally, improved. One tool we use for this is the CO2 calculator. -
SDG 13 – Climate Action
Every square metre of rainforest stores around 60 kg of carbon dioxide. Protecting the ecosystem immediately prevents potential emissions. This so-called REDD project is a key pillar of sustainable climate protection. -
SDG 15 – Life on Land
Protecting terrestrial ecosystems can prevent soil degradation, combat desertification and slow down the loss of biodiversity. Preserving these protected areas therefore has an impact on sustainable life on land, both locally and globally.
We have been confirmed as effective.
The Phineo ‘It Works!’ seal confirms that our work has a demonstrable impact and that we are an effective and transparent organisation.
As a corporate donor, you can therefore be confident that your contribution will be put to effective use by us.
