What happens with a Euro donation to Wilderness International?
Intact forests provide us with clean air, clear water, ensure a cool microclimate and last but not least offer us space for adventure and recreation.
You as the donor will receive the donation receipt. We will send all information and files to you.
Please enter your data everywhere in the form. This is important for the payment of the donation and so that only you receive all the information and the donation certificate. Then check the box "Give away/individualize certificate". There you can enter the name of the person who will receive the gift, so that it appears on the certificate.
You will receive the certificate digitally as a PDF by email. So you can decide for yourself whether you want to print it out and in which size.
There are no further obligations for you. The donation is one-time, and enables us as a foundation to ensure the long-term protection of the area. The sponsorship is a symbolic one. The forest area remains the property of the Foundation.
In Canada, good legal security helps us, as well as the legal situations and sanctions that even prohibit trespassing, as well as the cultural and historical importance of property.
In Peru, we have additionally started a forest guardian program with local people. To ensure long-term protection, we also have several other measures in place. In general, we visit the areas on regular expeditions to check on them. We also work with local partners who inform us of any irregularities if necessary. The donations per square meter also already include the costs for property taxes.
Like no other, the legal form of the foundation allows a (charitable) purpose to be realized permanently and independently of outside interests, thus achieving the desired effects in the long term. It is thus the most long-term organizational construct currently known. Not even states, companies or national parks are designed for such a long term. This makes the foundation the only one that is oriented toward the lifespan of the ecosystems we protect.
In Peru, for example, we work intensively with local people as part of our forest guardian program. They regularly walk the protected areas and represent our organization in the community. They put up signs, talk to local people about our forest protection projects and confront unauthorized activities if necessary. Thereby, the forest guardians also generate a sustainable income.
In Canada, we not only work with partner companies, but also look back on great collaborations with First Nations. These include a sponsored run and several conservation expeditions with the Cowichan of Vancouver Island, as well as the joint effort to protect the Peel River Watershed with the Gwich'in of Fort McPherson.
