"Can you save rainforest by buying it?"
This question is answered in the article about Wilderness International, which appeared in National Geographic's online magazine. A real accolade, which we are delighted about!
In her article, the author explains our mission and our project and provides up-to-date additional information that makes it clear why our work is so relevant and why we must act now to permanently protect the last intact wilderness areas.
The article is accompanied by beautiful pictures from our protected areas, taken by Mattis Weber.
