Our conservation expeditions

During our conservation expeditions, we visit our rainforest conservation areas in small teams before and after the purchase. We do this for scientific research, environmental education projects and media documentation, as well as drone footage and transparency regarding the use of your donations. 

Our visits focus on the scientific recording of unique forest and wilderness areas:

1. Rapid Assessments: In short, goal-oriented data collections on ecological integrity, biodiversity and CO₂ storage, we decide which rainforest areas to purchase and protect in the long term.
2. Long-term studies: We have set up long-term test plots that allow us to determine how muchCO₂ is stored in our forests. In Peru, our partner organization "Fauna Forever" also has numerous exciting research projects in our protected areas. They allow us to find out important and exciting things about life in the forests you protect! This includes studies on biodiversity, but also, for example, impacts of human activities on wildlife and the forest in general.
3. Aerial photography with drones: With the help of drones from the company Quantum Systems, we can create LIDAR and multispectral images of the forest areas. This allows us to determine, among other things, the number and height of trees and even the different tree species in an area.

We also offer selected corporate partners, who are exceptionally committed and work with us on a long-term basis, the opportunity to view their protected forest area. In this way, they assure that their donation is truly making an impact. They can also show videos and pictures of the protected area to employees, partners, and customers who have supported the project. Often, these trips serve as inspiration and motivation to protect even more forest and motivate more others to get involved.
