Dennis' Community Forest 

Wilderness International

Journey to wild Canada

Dennis Schmelz embarks on a new adventure: together with Wilderness International and a group of content creators, the filmmaker travels to the wilderness of Western Canada to capture the beauty of nature. And to show the world why the Canadian rainforests are so special and worth protecting! As an ambassador for Wilderness International, he wants to help preserve this unique ecosystem forever. 

Protect a piece of wilderness together with Dennis - for yourself or as a gift!

Having captured the pristine beauty and immense biodiversity of the Canadian rainforest as a photographer and videographer, I feel a deep responsibility to preserve this unique natural paradise for future generations.

Every contribution counts! 

We have a great vision: to protect the last real wilderness areas in our world forever before it is too late!
To achieve this, we buy ecologically valuable and acutely endangered forest areas by land register entry in order to protect them in a legally secure, permanent and transparent manner. The purchases are refinanced by your donations and protected in the long term. 

This is how it works: 

  1. Select size

    Select the size of the forest area you want to protect in the donation form.

  2. Fill in the donation form

    Enter your details in the form to ensure that you receive all the information and the donation receipt.

  3. Design certificate

    Now you can personalize the certificate with your name. If you want, you can also add an occasion.

  4. Receive certificate

    You can download the certificate with the geocoordinates of your protected area directly after payment. It will also be sent to you by e-mail, together with a link that shows you your personal protected area down to the square meter. 

Your wilderness protection certificate

Immediately after your donation, you will receive a personalized certificate about the piece of wilderness you have protected. It also makes a great gift!

Expedition in Canada. Imagine being completely cut off from civilization for 10 days. No people, just the untouched wilderness. This is exactly what Dennis experienced on a remote island in north-western Canada, just before the Alaskan border. Surrounded by one of Canada's last primeval forests, the temperate rainforest, he has mastered his greatest challenge to date. 

What is a temperate rainforest?
