Nature conservation

Our nature in need

Nature is our most valuable asset. It not only provides us with air to breathe, clean water to drink and food to live on,
but is also a place of recreation and inspiration. However, environmental pollution and the exploitation of natural
resources threaten the diversity and beauty of our planet.

Help us to help our nature!

The lungs of our earth

It is estimated that around ten million hectares of forest are lost worldwide every year. Forests
cover 31% (4.06 billion hectares) of the Earth's land area. However, this figure is decreasing rapidly due to massive deforestation.

The protection of nature secures our livelihood: our existence depends directly on a healthy ecosystem. Forests clean our air, and countless plants and animals play a crucial role in the food chain.

Natural habitats such as forests and moors are important carbon reservoirs. By protecting and restoring these areas, we can make a significant contribution. Natural environments are essential for our mental and physical health.

Help us to protect nature! This includes

Expanding protected areas: With your help, we can acquire important natural areas and place them under permanent protection. We have already acquired natural areas in the Amazon, please read more about this in the nature conservation project.

Oceans, our life resource

Our oceans are the lifelines of our planet. They cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface and are home to an incredible diversity of life.

The oceans regulate the climate, produce oxygen and feed millions of people. But they are in danger. Plastic pollution, overfishing and climate change are threatening the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.

The oceans play a crucial role in the global climate system by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide and stabilizing the climate. Biodiversity: The oceans are home to countless species, from tiny plankton organisms to large whales. Each organism contributes to the health of the ecosystem.

Help us protect the oceans! This includes:

  • Removing plastic from the oceans: With your support, we finance technologies and projects to remove & recycle plastic waste from the oceans.
  • Establish protected areas: We are committed to the creation and protection of marine protected areas in order to preserve important habitats.
