Protect the Wacken Community Forest

Wilderness International

Can we protect 4 million square meters of rainforest together?

Metalheads, we have a big goal!

Let’s do something together for nature and protect rainforest in Peru. In the coming years, we aim to protect an area the size of the entire festival grounds and thus protect an ecosystem as habitat for countless animal species and plants.

 

The organizers of the Wacken Open Air have already protected the first 1000 m2 of the Wacken Community Rainforest - and together we now ask you to support us in our goal.
