In rapid assessments, we work with researchers to determine whether a forest area is worthy of protection. The decisive factors are whether the area has high biodiversity and CO2 storage capacity, whether it is threatened, and whether it is located in a strategically important place.
The purchase of the land is financed with loans. We do not collect donations for a piece of land that we do not yet own.
We work in countries with a high degree of legal security and only purchase land with clear and secure title. All two or three foundations are entered on title in the land register.
With the help of drones, we create high-quality aerial panoramas of our land parcels. These are uploaded to our website. Each square meter is provided with concrete geo-coordinates.
Everyone can donate for the protection of a specific piece of this wilderness area. The donation refinances the purchase and ensures long-term protection. Each square meter is allocated only once.
Donors receive a personalized certificate with the exact geo-coordinates of the forest they have helped to protect. In this way, the protection is concrete and directly traceable.
Environmental ambassadors and researchers visit the areas, conduct research together and experience the forest they are protecting first-hand. They then use the research findings, photos and videos for environmental education in schools and to inspire others with their love for wild nature.
Regular visits, local partnerships, forest guardian, payment of property taxes and the foundation concept ensure the long-term protection and ecological integrity of the areas.
