Powerful voices
Prominent supporters of our mission
Strong voices in support of old-growth forest protection
Whether they’re environmental experts, musicians, education officers or content creators – our wilderness ambassadors give a voice to wilderness conservation.
Through their public profile, they draw vital attention to the old-growth forest. They talk about the importance of rainforests as an essential foundation for life and raise awareness that the preservation of these ecosystems, with all their biodiversity, is the most powerful tool in the race against time to safeguard the global climate and biodiversity for future generations.
Achieving more together
Thanks to their dedicated efforts, we are able to reach far more people and introduce them to our work in nature conservation, environmental education and research. Together, we share knowledge in an engaging way.
At the same time, we can inspire so many people to get involved and move a little closer to our shared goal of preserving the world’s last intact and most species-rich old-growth forests.
For this, a sincere and heartfelt thank you!
