As a schoolboy, I was confronted with the rapid destruction of the tropical rainforest in South America. Despite the best arguments in favor of preserving the forests, all the predictions of land loss that were unimaginable to me at the time have come true. The commitment of Wilderness International freed me from the powerlessness of not being able to do anything for the preservation of our planet. The donation-financed purchase of the land means that endangered forests are preserved in the long term and I also improve my carbon footprint - a path that is open to everyone thanks to Wilderness International. It couldn't be more concrete and simple.
