T-Systems is committed to the protection of endangered wildlife
For the preservation of biodiversity & wilderness
Since 2022, the IT service provider from Dresden - T-Systems MMS - has been working together with the Wilderness International Foundation to preserve the last rainforests and wilderness areas on our planet. T-Systems MMS protects rainforest in Peru with 20,388 m² to date.
Let's continue on this path together and permanently preserve even more unique wilderness: Protect a piece of the T-Systems rainforest now.

As part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection, Telekom MMS has entered into a partnership with Wilderness International. The aim of this cooperation is to make a regular contribution to the protection of the rainforest. The partnership enables Telekom MMS to make a concrete contribution to the long-term protection of ecologically valuable and acutely endangered wilderness areas. Wilderness International uses the donations to acquire forest areas in a legally secure manner and preserve them forever.
The T-Systems forest in Peru
The areas protected by Telekom MMS are located in the Madre de Dios region, not far from the city of Puerto Maldonado along the Tambopata River. The most biodiverse ecosystem on earth can be found here: playful monkeys, mysterious jaguars and liana-covered jungle giants find their habitat here.
When the sun rises over the treetops along the Tambopata River, the rainforest begins to "breathe".
Rare spider monkeys find a safe habitat in the protected areas.
Colorful macaws break through the green of the treetops with color.
The giant trees in the Peruvian nature reserve are up to 100 meters high and provide a habitat for countless animal and plant species.
Each of the trees in the protected area is a separate ecosystem and part of a larger whole.
Transparency
Why old-growth forest protection with WI?
What particularly impressed T-Systems MMS about Wilderness International was the transparent and concrete use of the donations: €1 donation protects 1m2old-growth forest - forever. Donors receive a certificate with the geo-coordinates and an aerial photo of the protected forest area, as well as a tax-deductible donation receipt.

About Wilderness International
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 primary rainforest areas with land title and legally protects them for all future. Donations refinance the purchases and at the same time finance long-term protection as well as environmental education and research. Donors receive a personalized certificate with the exact geo-coordinates and aerial photograph of the forest area they are protecting. Thus, the use and impact of the donation is tangible and directly traceable. We are currently working in the temperate rainforest of Western Canada and the Amazon rainforest of Peru, where we are protecting ancient primary rainforests.
It is important to protect the rainforest because this is the only way we can stop species extinction and climate change. They are home to the world's greatest biodiversity and store huge amounts of CO2. It is also important to protect rainforests because they are the basis of our existence: they provide us with clean air, clean water and stable rainfall. They also cool the environment.
In Canada, good legal security helps us, as well as the legal situations and sanctions that even prohibit trespassing.
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.
