After my experiences in species conservation, where we are desperately trying to preserve what is almost lost - the last populations of endangered species that are increasingly losing their habitat - I want to work for the remaining pristine primeval forests and protect the biodiversity and intact ecosystems that still exist in the long term before it is too late. My first encounter with Wilderness International began with a wilderness sponsorship in Peru and led to me working with Fauna Forever in the Secret Forest for a month. During this time, I experienced the rainforest in a way that made my heart beat faster. The abundance of life and the untouched beauty of nature were overwhelming.

At the same time, however, it was also heartbreaking to see the destruction and immense loss that occurs when protection is not provided. For me, the commitment to nature and species conservation lies not only in the field of biology, but also in sharing stories about wilderness and I am firmly convinced that together we can bring the protection of wilderness far and wide and into many hearts. Step by step. Protected area by protected area.
