Mission Peru

The world is worth fighting for.

Wilderness International

Get in there for biodiversity!

In August 2021, Robert and his team visited Wilderness International's protected areas in the Peruvian Amazon for the first time - in one of the most biodiverse places on earth: the Madre de Dios region. The view over the rainforest canopy, nocturnal caiman transects and the discovery of the rarest animals in the Peruvian jungle... Robert and his team quickly realized: this unique habitat needs protection - forever! And that was just the beginning of many joint missions between the organization, Mission Erde e.V. and the best community in the world! 

 

Become a part of Mission Peru and preserve a piece of this unique habitat now - for yourself or as a gift!

That's how many square meters the Mission Earth Community has protected in Peru:

Robert's commitment to Peru

Robert is also committed to wilderness protection with his "Mission Earth" store projects. For the protected area in Peru, for example, the sale of store orders, the Mission Earth book, the annual calendar, the annual planner and the illustrated book have added another large amount of protected square meters.

The old-growth forest I am standing in right now is thousands of years old, if not hundreds of thousands. This ecosystem has developed over so many years and has become so tightly knotted that it would not only be a shame to lose the ecosystem - it would be a dramatic loss.

Living tree. Living space.

Every euro saves one square meter of living space. Sounds good. But it's even better.

 

Example: With a donation of 64€ to Wilderness International, you protect a piece of forest that is 64m2 in size. This corresponds to a 3200m2 habitat with countless niche habitats for a huge variety of animals and plants that interact with each other in symbiosis.

How we protect wilderness.

Our guide to saving the world.
Wilderness International

1

Find land plot

In rapid assessments, we work with researchers to determine the conservation value of a forest area. The decisive factors are whether the area has a high level of biodiversity and CO2 storage capacity, whether it is under threat and whether it is located in a strategically important place.

2

Buy in advance

The purchase of the land is financed with loans. We do not collect donations for land that we do not yet own.

3

Obtain land registry entry

We only work in countries with a high level of legal security and only buy land with a land register entry. All two or three foundations are entered in the land register.
Wilderness International

4

Create aerial images

We use drones to create high-quality aerial panoramas of our land. These are uploaded to our website. Each square meter is provided with specific geocoordinates.

5

Refinance through donations

Anyone can donate to a specific piece of this wilderness area. The donation refinances the purchase and ensures long-term protection. Each square meter is only allocated once.

6

Prove by certificate with geo-coordinates

Donors receive a personalized certificate with the exact geocoordinates of the piece of forest they have helped to protect. This makes the protection tangible and directly traceable.
Wilderness International

7

Research, document, communicate

Environmental ambassadors and researchers visit the areas, conduct research together and experience the forest they are protecting. They then use the research findings, photos and videos for environmental education in schools and to get people excited about wilderness.

8

Ensure long-term protection

Regular visits, local partnerships, forest guardians, property taxes and the foundation concept ensure the long-term protection and ecological integrity of the areas.
