How we protect wilderness. Our step by step guide to saving the world.

1

Find Land Plot

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.

2

Buy in Advance

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.

3

Receive Land Title

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.

4

Create Georeferenced Aerial Images

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.

5

Refinance through Donations

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.

6

Prove by Certificate with Geocoordinates

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.

7

Research, Document, Communicate

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.

8

Ensure Longterm Protection

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.
