Information regarding your nature conservation donation
Supporter or partner? As a donating organisation, you may call yourselves ‘Nature Conservation Supporters of Wilderness International’. Please do not use the term ‘partner’. We define partnerships as long-term strategic collaborations with partners, which are preceded by a thorough mutual assessment and require a minimum commitment of 10,000 square metres per year. Are you interested in a partnership? Get in touch with us!
A question of choosing the right words
There are many terms floating around in the world of environmental protection. Clarity, transparency and accuracy are important to us. Please therefore use:
- “Carbon-offset” instead of “carbon-neutral” Neutrality does not exist in this sense – your emissions remain emissions.
- “Intact” rather than “untouched” nature. Rainforests are intact ecosystems, but not necessarily untouched ones. Other alternatives: undisturbed, unique, fantastic, species-rich, temperate/tropical rainforest
- “Stabilise the climate” instead of “climate protection” You cannot protect the climate. We can halt climate change, stabilise the climate or ensure a healthy climate.
- "Rainforest protected" instead of "purchased" As a supporter, you are not “buying” the forest, but rather supporting the three Wilderness International foundations in Peru, Canada and Germany. Your donation helps fund the purchase and enables its long-term protection. It is a symbolic sponsorship.
