Wilderness International is an international group of dedicated conservationists promoting responsible world citizenship for the purpose of protecting the earth’s fragile natural treasures and at-risk ecosystems. We strive to inspire young people - our most precious natural resource - and to provide them with the opportunity to confront and manage environmental threats, inspiring others in turn. We work to preserve wilderness areas by preventing or limiting environmental damage caused by agricultural or industrial development. Our projects offer opportunities for real engagement. We are a small and flexible organization, always looking to use our funds in the most effective and efficient ways. Donations, institutional support and volunteer work support the operations of the foundation. Our participatory structure makes it possible to grow with new ideas and exchange opinions between generations. It all began with the enthusiasm for forests with huge trees. Today, Wilderness International is a non-profit foundation with a great goal. We want to protect unique wilderness areas for future generations. Since our founding in 2008, with the help of schools, companies and private individuals we have been able to purchase, register and thus legally protect 4.5 million square meters of valuable and endangered rainforest in Canada. Numerous scientific institutions support our research projects on CO2-absorbtion and biodiversity in the coastal rainforests. Our Motivation Why do we work to keep nature intact? Areas that have been untouched by humans are ever more rare, and thus becoming irreplaceable treasures. Once nature has been disturbed by clear cuts, mining or urban sprawl, it is often difficult to repair, if at all. It then requires a lot of work and often, a lot of money. Therefore, long-term conservation is the most efficient and effective way to preserve valuable habitats for future generations.
