Frequently asked Questions

Fund The Planet is a conservation organization that lets you create your own growing nature reserve in the most biodiverse 0.1% of Earth.

Does my contribution really protect rainforest?

Yes, and you can check it yourself: You can see your protected area anytime in the digital Rainforest Explorer and receive regular updates and reports. Full transparency, verifiable at any time.

How do you protect the area on the ground, for example against illegal logging?

We are the legal owners of the land and secure it together with local communities, through patrols and AI-supported monitoring. That keeps the protection binding for the long term.

How long is my area protected?

At least 100 years from allocation, legally anchored in our terms. The protection doesn't depend on good intentions; it is bindingly secured for the long term.

Can I try it for free first?

Yes. You can protect 1 m² of Amazon rainforest for free, with no obligations or hidden conditions, and experience for yourself how transparent the model is.

Can I cancel anytime, and what happens then?

Yes, anytime with one click in the member login, effective at the end of the current billing period. Your payment stops and your area no longer grows. Its current size, however, remains protected and visible in your profile. And if you change your mind early on: within the first 30 days, we will refund your contribution in full.

Who owns the protected land?

Fund The Planet, operated by Munich-based Green Token GmbH, acquired the land in a legally secure purchase and places your area under protection. Your area is assigned to you and visible in the Explorer.

How does rainforest protection help fight climate change?

Intact rainforest stores huge amounts of CO₂ and is home to the biodiversity a stable climate depends on. Every protected area preserves both, long-term and verifiably.

Why a monthly membership?

Regular contributions make long-term conservation plannable. Your area grows month by month, you track every contribution in the Explorer, and you become part of a community preserving ecosystems for the long term.

Can I decide how big my area gets?

Yes, our model is flexible. You choose between different memberships and decide how fast your protected area grows.

Which species does my area protect?

Your area is located in the Ucayali Rainforest in Peru, home to jaguars, sloths, harpy eagles, poison dart frogs, and thousands of other species. You can see which animals and plants are documented in our nature reserve directly in the Explorer.

What is "the 0.1%"?

Just 0.1% of Earth's surface is home to around 20% of all species worldwide. These few places are the most biodiverse and valuable ecosystems on the planet. Our nature reserve lies in the middle of one of them: the Amazon rainforest in Peru.

Can I also save forests in other parts of the world?

Not at the moment. We deliberately focus on the Amazon because the primary forest there is acutely threatened and your contribution achieves the most protection here. Better to protect one area properly than many halfway.

How is Fund The Planet different from other environmental organizations?

We buy forest land ourselves instead of just supporting projects, protect it for the long term, and make every step verifiable: map, coordinates, updates, and a public protection register.

Can I get a donation receipt?

We do not accept donations, so there is no donation receipt. However, you do receive an official invoice for your contribution.

Can I gift rainforest protection?

Yes. With a rainforest protection gift, you protect a piece of rainforest once or monthly in the recipient's name, including a certificate and their own protected area in the Explorer.

How does the gift option work?

Enter the name and a personal message when ordering. The recipient receives email access to the Rainforest Explorer with all the data on their protected area, plus a beautifully designed certificate with a direct link to the protected land.
