Protecting the climate and biodiversity in Germany
We help you communicate with your customers. For this purpose, we have developed a unique web application that creates maximum transparency. Your company's own protected area is precisely measured on an interactive map and can be visited by customers and employees at any time. A tangible conservation project with maximum transparency here in Germany . For this measure to protect the climate and biodiversity, we are happy to provide you with a dedicated forest rescuer page where all information about your own protected area is clearly presented. In addition to several completed research projects, we will be launching long-term biodiversity monitoring in 2025 using AI sensors that monitor biodiversity 24/7 via acoustics. We can display this data in real time on your own landing page and prepare it for your sustainability reporting .

Real impact instead of greenwashing
By supporting the UrwaldProject, you are giving something back to nature and making a measurable contribution to protecting the climate and biodiversity. However, this project isn't intended for classic claims like "climate neutral." Nevertheless, it's important to give something back to nature. And that should be communicated.

Lucky Bike
"The UrwaldProject has inspired us from the very beginning and perfectly complements our "Lucky World" sustainability strategy . Preserving healthy forests right on our doorstep for decades simply makes sense. "
Franke & Bornberg
"We care about the world we live in and make a tangible contribution to people and the environment" — this is one of our corporate principles. We want to help shape positive perspectives. And we've been doing so since 1996. For this reason, we support the UrwaldProjekt, a forest conservation project in Germany recognized by the United Nations. With our investment in the "Die Jungen Wilden" project, we are helping to protect and nurture young trees so they can develop into a stable and healthy primeval forest.
Nature houses
"We believe that we must protect what we love—and that is nature. Our love of nature is what we share with Wohlleben's Forest Academy. Our shared goal is to protect nature, in this case, ancient forest, while simultaneously inspiring society to live in balance with and respect nature. We are proud to be creating the primeval forest of tomorrow together!"
Söbbeke Dairy
"Protect the forest and enjoy cheese? Thank you, dear team at the Forest Academy, for making this possible as part of our forest cheese campaign. We need more sustainable, hands-on initiatives, and the UrwaldProjekt provides that. "
Since our founding in 1981, sustainability has been a key component of our corporate culture and strategy. We are delighted to be part of Wohlleben's Forest Academy's primeval forest project! Because we share the same values: For the Forest Academy, the preservation and protection of our environment is at least as important as it is for us as an outdoor company. We are aware of how essential the preservation of primeval forests in the heart of Europe is for ecological balance. As part of our strong partnership, we have already been able to protect a total area of almost nine football fields (61,247 m²) of ancient beech forests for at least 50 years. We look forward to continuing to make a meaningful contribution to environmental protection with the Forest Academy in the future. Providing appropriate education to our customers plays a key role in this.
