Thanks to the geo-coordinates, you know exactly which piece of forest we are protecting with your donation.
The forest protected by Spreadly is located in the Madre de Dios region of Peru. There are 10 times more reptiles and amphibians there than in Germany, around 10% of all bird species in the world can be observed here and around 400 tree species can be found on one hectare of forest, more than in the whole of Europe north of the Alps.

Worldwide, only 2.8% of the land surface consists of intact ecosystems. We want to save them together with you as long as possible!
Because intact forests fulfill vital functions and have many benefits for us: clean air, clear water, stable rain, cool climate, habitat for biodiversity, space for adventure and recreation, and so much more.
The foundation, which is based in Peru, Canada and Germany, purchases legally secure wilderness areas and protects them for the future. The purchases are refinanced through donations, which ensure the long-term protection of the areas and enable environmental education projects and research into CO2 storage and biodiversity.
Wilderness International purchases legally secure wilderness areas and protects them for the future. The purchases are refinanced through donations, which at the same time ensure the long-term protection of the areas and support environmental education projects and research into CO2-storage and biodiversity. Donors receive a personalized certificate with the exact geocoordinates of the protected forest area so that the protection is directly traceable. We are currently active in the temperate rainforest of Western Canada and in the Amazon rainforest of Peru, where we are protecting ancient primary rainforests.
It is important to protect the rainforests because this is the only way we can stop species extinction and climate change. They are home to the greatest biodiversity in the world and store huge amounts of CO2. It is also important to protect rainforests because they are our livelihood: they provide us with clean air, clean water and stable precipitation. They also cool the environment.
In Canada, good legal security helps us, as well as the legal situations and sanctions that even prohibit trespassing, as well as the cultural and historical importance of property.
In Peru, we have additionally started a forest guardian program with local people. To ensure long-term protection, we also have several other measures in place. In general, we visit the areas on regular expeditions to check on them. We also work with local partners who inform us of any irregularities if necessary. The donations per square meter also already include the costs for property taxes.
Like no other, the legal form of the foundation allows a (charitable) purpose to be realized permanently and independently of outside interests, thus achieving the desired effects in the long term. It is thus the most long-term organizational construct currently known. Not even states, companies or national parks are designed for such a long term. This makes the foundation the only one that is oriented toward the lifespan of the ecosystems we protect.
There are no further obligations for you. The donation is one-time, and enables us as a foundation to ensure the long-term protection of the area. The sponsorship is a symbolic one. The forest area remains the property of the Foundation.
