How does the CO2-Compensation through forest protection?
CO2-Equalization through old-growth forest protection
Primeval forests are real climate savers. They not only store huge amounts of CO2but also cool the environment, ensure stable rainfall and clean the air. And they are also a habitat for a huge variety of species!
The Hamburg-based startup Yook has developed a plugin for your online store that allows you to reduce CO2-footprint of your products automatically. This allows your customers to support nature conservation projects directly in the checkout and thus reduce CO2-emissions from their purchases.
Yook thus provides the technical solution for CO2-compensation in the online store. We offer the concrete and transparent primeval forest protection project for offsetting emissions. Together, we are committed to ensuring that online shoppers can protect old-growth forest quickly and easily. Together, we are preserving a healthy climate and important biodiversity.

Wilderness International, based in Peru, Canada and Germany, purchases wilderness areas legally secure with land title and protects them for all future.
The purchases are refinanced through donations, which at the same time ensure the long-term protection of the areas as well as environmental education projects and research into CO2-storage and biodiversity.

What happens with a Euro donation to Wilderness International? What percentage of my donation really arrives?
In Peru, for example, we work intensively with local people as part of our forest guardian program. They regularly walk the protected areas and represent our organization in the community. They put up signs, talk to local people about our forest protection projects and confront unauthorized activities if necessary. Thereby, the forest guardians also generate a sustainable income.
In Canada, we not only work with partner companies, but also look back on great collaborations with First Nations. These include a sponsored run and several conservation expeditions with the Cowichan of Vancouver Island, as well as the joint effort to protect the Peel River Watershed with the Gwich'in of Fort McPherson.
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.

I am proud to be part of a movement that is committed to the protection of the primal nature that still exists today, as well as to education for sustainable development of future generations. The aim is to raise awareness of our environment as a society and to actively establish climate protection with real solutions for both individuals and companies. Making visible the consumption of nature in our lives and at the same time transforming it into environmental protection concepts drives me to push for both permanent nature protection and modern development solutions at Wilderness International.
