Promoting scientific research of forest threats from drought, storms, extreme temperatures, forest fires, monocultures and widespread deforestation
Supporting NGOs in the creation and protection of virgin forests and biodiverse mixed forests
Sustainable strategies in the areas of eco-farming and agriculture that's close to nature

News & Events
Berliner Stiftungswoche
This year, the organisers of the Berliner Stiftungswoche faced a special challenge. The programme mainly took place digitally. The topic of "A Question of Climate" is highly relevant and overall the event was super successful with over 80 foundations participating. Daniel took part in the kick-off event and talked about the foundation's beginnings as well as last year's projects. For those who missed it, you can view the recording of the event directly via the link.
