Adopt Wilderness

Check out our "Adopt Wilderness" program. This is a rare conservation opportunity where there are Cedar trees as old as ancient Rome, wolves, eagles, and orcas. By adopting your own personal piece of rainforest you are taking an active part in preserving this land for future generations.

Welcome to Wilderness International.

›Walk for the Wild‹ Earth Day

Wilderness International can help your school protect and preserve threatened ecosystems, both locally and globally, whilst upholding your individual school philosophy and objectives.

Quotes from two students who participated in Wilderness Internationals Conservation Expedition to the Western Arctic

"Taking part in the rainforest run really opened our eyes. It was impressive to see so many German students taking an interest in the rainforest and in the conservation within northern Canada. It no longer feels as though we're just a small, unknown town in the arctic, rather we're now part of a global movement."
Wade Vaneltsi, Student, 17,  Gwich’in First Nation

“When you have undertaken a conservation expedition with Wilderness International and when you've been blessed with being able to see untouched natural beauty, you're more motivated and ready to stand up and act. We need to spread the word that:  “Only together are we strong.“ 
Julia, Student, 17, German
