Our fundraising run is an opportunity for students to get active in sports and to get involved ecologically: for the protection of the world's most biodiverse rainforests, a healthy climate and a greener school at home.
In our previous wilderness runs, the participating students:inside have already protected 1,350,125m2 of rainforest forever!
As participating students, you choose one or more sponsors before the run. These can be private individuals or companies. Together, you determine an amount of money that will be sponsored for each lap run. The sponsors then donate the money raised by the participants to us, Wilderness International. Together we protect valuable rainforest.
we organized at 68 schools in Germany from 2012 to 2020.
have participated in our lectures and runs.
we were able to put under protection forever through the donations we received.
Only 2.8% of the Earth's land surface is still intact habitat.
They still exist in Canada and Peru: thousand-year-old tree giants, salmon-fishing grizzly bears and howling wolves in the temperate rainforest of the north; liana-clad jungle giants, mysterious jaguars and playful monkeys in the tropical rainforest of the south. The rainforests are not only the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world, but also the lungs of our earth: they bind huge amounts ofCO2 in their biomass.
In lectures we talk about the peculiarities and threats to these unique ecosystems.
The SV of the Gymnasium Bad Essen independently organized a wilderness run with their fellow students and thus protected 20,000m2 of rainforest in Peru forever!
The registration is done by your teachers. They register your class as a running team at fundoo and send you the class link. There you can create your profile and enter your sponsors.
We explain how the Wilderness Run works and why and what we are working together for.
Start looking for people who will support you with a donation for every lap you run. Fundoo will send you a printable form for this purpose. After that, you can register your supporters online via the donation page. Or you send them a link and they enter their donation themselves.
After a welcome and warm-up, you will have one hour to run as many laps as possible.
All participants receive a certificate of their protected forest, and the most dedicated runners even receive prizes. Sponsors receive a donation certificate.
85% for international wildlife conservation

20% of the collected money can be used for your own environmental project, e.g. for a green classroom, a biotope, indoor greening, or an insect hotel.
Since 2008, we have already conducted more than 50 wilderness runs with over 40,000 students! Here you can find results, pictures and more info.
