Need some advice? No problem. Arrange a brief, informal chat with our team.
Once we’ve made contact, we’ll draw up an agreement setting out your commitment to wilderness conservation. This will ensure you know exactly what your mission is and grant you the rights to use our communication materials, including text and images.
You then arrange your donation independently via our platform – and, if you wish, we can also send out a fundraising appeal on your behalf.
We will send you each gift certificate as a PDF. You can decide for yourself whether to give the certificates as digital files or in printed form.
We’ll also provide you with images, videos and text material – including the Wilderness International logo – to help with your communications. Please do get in touch with us briefly to coordinate your communications activities.
Be proud – together with Wilderness International and your staff, you are now helping to protect the rainforest for the long term!
We’d also be happy to review the campaign with you afterwards and ask ourselves together: what else can we achieve by joining forces?
Over a period of six months, independent experts from the not-for-profit organisation AG Phineo assessed the effectiveness of our work through a multi-stage process.
The Phineo “Wirkt!” seal confirms that our work has a verifiable impact and that we are a high-performing and transparent organisation. So you can be sure that your contribution is put to effective use by us.
In Canada, we are aided by the high level of legal certainty and the legal framework, as well as the penalties – which even prohibit trespass – and the cultural and historical significance of property.
In Peru, we have also launched a forest ranger programme in collaboration with local people. We have put several measures in place to ensure long-term protection. Generally speaking, we visit the areas on regular expeditions to check that everything is in order. We also work with local partners who inform us if necessary. The donations per square metre also already include the costs of property tax.
The legal form of the foundation, unlike any other, enables it to fulfil a (charitable) purpose permanently and independently of external interests, thereby achieving the desired long-term effects. It is thus the most long-term organisational structure currently known. Not even states, companies or national parks are designed to last that long. This makes the foundation the only organisation oriented towards the lifespan of the ecosystems we protect.
In Peru, for example, we work closely with local people as part of our forest ranger programme. They patrol the areas regularly and champion our conservation cause within the community. For instance, they put up signs, talk to local people about our forest conservation projects and, where necessary, intervene to stop unauthorised access. In this way, the forest rangers also earn a sustainable livelihood.
In Canada, we not only work with partner organisations but can also look back on some fantastic collaborations with First Nations. These include a wilderness run and several nature conservation expeditions with the Cowichan of Vancouver Island, as well as our joint efforts to protect the Peel River Watershed with the Gwich’in of Fort McPherson.
