10,000 m² of protected rainforest in Amazonia
From the very beginning of our idea, it was clear that if we protect forests, it has to be a very special one. The one with the greatest biodiversity on our planet, popularly known as “the green lung of the earth”, which feeds the largest river system on earth and yet is under threat as never before. The Amazon rainforest.

A largely white or green spot in an otherwise almost completely developed world. A place for scientists, adventurers and also guardians of this unique natural treasure, the indigenous peoples. People who have lived in coexistence with the forest for thousands of years. A healthy coexistence that the majority of the world’s population seems to have forgotten. This harmonious “nature-human” system still exists in large parts of the Amazon region. But without outside help, these healthy areas and their role in the global ecosystem will also be lost.

Cruel insights into industrial deforestation
We would never have believed that it would be so difficult to find energetic and, above all, trustworthy partners. Some gave up when we started. This is often due to the political situation, which does not seem to care about the exploitation of this natural heritage or even fuels it. Others could no longer guarantee the protection of their territories because the pressure of illegal exploitation continued to increase. The coronavirus-induced economic downturn can be seen as an additional driver of this development. And then there were those who confused our ideals for a better world with naivety and gullibility. Fortunately, today we can say “Not with us!”. Because we have found them, true men of conviction in the fight for our nature. In cooperation with local associations such as Fauna Forever and our partner Wilderness International, we protect primeval and primary rainforests along the Rio Tambopata in south-eastern Peru. If you want to know exactly, just follow the geocoordinates.

The forest areas are acquired by private individuals and confirmed in the capital Lima by land register entries, which in turn guarantee protection from economic exploitation for all time. The selection of sites is based on the criteria of intactness, expansion potential, integration into the landscape and existing protected areas, but of course also on “availability”. The forest that we protect with your help is home to over 170 mammal and 600 bird species, 75 different reptiles and 130 amphibian species. Home to countless conservation mascots such as jaguars, sloths, tapirs, caimans and large macaws. Not to mention the diversity of plants and insects. A piece of intact Amazon rainforest.
Because the pressure of human expansion continues to increase around this unique area and we have no time to lose, we have set a good example and protected 10,000 square meters before the launch of our site. At the Rio Tambopata, protected means that local rangers patrol the areas, scientists conduct studies in the forest and gentle ecotourism also ensures that this millennia-old forest does not go unobserved. No logging, gold digger or poacher goes unnoticed here. In addition, the local population has recognized the value of its nature. Felled trees bring money once. A healthy forest, on the other hand, brings tourists and thus a sustainable, long-term source of income. In addition, a certain pride develops in what drives countless tourists from all over the world to their homeland.
Help to expand the areas, protect the giant trees, which can be up to 50 meters high, and their inhabitants, preserve the forest as a carbon sink and counteract the overexploitation of the Amazon!
“Preserve existing forests, create new forests.”
