Naturschutzverein Lebensraum Regenwald e.V.

Through projects in Latin America and Asia, the rainforest is being preserved as a habitat for biodiversity, with the local population being integrated into the process as the main actors. The work aims to protect the rainforest from deforestation and preserve it as a climate stabilizer.

• The Runa Wasi tourist accommodation of the local Indian community

• The Sacha Yachana Wasi Christina school

• The eco-hotel Liana Lodge

AmaSelva - Bündnis Urwaldschutz e.V.

Yanomami-Hilfe e.V.

fans for nature e.V.

The non-profit association's commitment began in Borneo in 1995 and has since been dedicated to protecting the Indonesian rainforest in general and the orangutan in particular. By working with the C.O.P. (Centre for Orangutan Protection) sponsorships can be arranged for orphaned or confiscated orangutans. 

Panguana

The Panguana Foundation looks after its own Research station and the associated nature reserve in the Amazon rainforest in Peru. The company specializes in researching and protecting biological diversity and ecosystems in this region. The protected area is to be continuously expanded and the study area enlarged by purchasing additional rainforest areas.

The Ecovida Foundation, based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, is active in Costa Rica. The commitment is primarily aimed at the Lapa Verde nature reserve, which was officially recognized by Costa Rica in 2013. Ecovida strives to preserve and restore the diverse habitat, protect endangered animal species, sustainably prevent poaching and deforestation, and raise awareness among the local population for the common cause. Through collaboration with research and conservation programs, a new species of reptile was discovered in Lapa Verde in the summer of 2023: a green parrot snake (Leptophis nebulosus).

More than a Tree

More than a Tree, as the name suggests, is about more than just reforestation. The international team based near Stuttgart, Germany, is active in Indonesia. The mission behind the projects is to create self-managed eco communities. As first initiated on the island of Sumbawa, the team focuses on ecologically sustainable agroforestry, agriculture and permaculture. This is intended to create synergies between environmental protection and socio-economic developments.

Pro Regenwald e.V.

Information, education, network and projects - the Pro Regenwald association offers an extensive platform on the subject of rainforest protection. As an environmental and human rights organization, Pro REGENWALD works internationally with many partners against the further destruction of forests and for restoration. The activities are intended to lead to future-oriented awareness and behavior in general and to the enforcement of the rights of indigenous and traditional societies to self-determination over their future, territories and resources. Here you can also find news about international events and event announcements.

Urgewald e.V.

Since its founding in 1992, the organization for climate protection and human rights has made the path of destructive “dirty” money visible, thereby making it uncomfortable for the donors in the background. Because if you cut off the money from the “climate killers”, climate protection has a better chance. One of the successes in 2022 was the disclosure of the ExitArms database. It lists around 500 companies that are involved in arms exports to warring parties. Also worth mentioning is the pressure on the insurer Allianz, which announced that it will no longer insure new oil and gas fields or new oil power plants and other things from January 2023.

Borneo Organgutan Survival (BOS) Schweiz

The focus of the association's work is species, animal, nature and environmental protection in Indonesia and Malaysia. The aim is specifically to promote the protection and preservation of orangutans and their habitats, the tropical rainforest in Borneo.

Rhino and Forest Fund e.V.

The team protects the rainforests of Borneo in Malaysia and the goal is to connect isolated forest fragments into larger protected areas using wildlife corridors. In order to preserve and protect endangered forest areas, private plantations between the protected areas are acquired in order to be able to reforest them. This means that endangered animal species have a much higher chance of survival.
