Flora & Fauna

Who does not know them, the nice pictures of apes - Orang Utans and Gibbons from Asia, Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Bonobos from Africa. One finds always somewhere a calendar which shows another specimen of a becoming extinct kind any month in the year.

These pictures are unreal !

They show wild animals in a living space which is not, for a long time, any more theirs. The reasons for the extingtion are only to be found too often during the population explosion and in individual interests.

The wildly living and their living space to robbed animals, are delivered all defenselessly and, in addition, still hunted by poachers.

The last great apes- our next relatives are in a big danger and some species are shortly before the final eradication. The elephant, for example, is the largest and maybe the most impressive mammal. Unfortunately, the life of this gentle giant is still at risk for its tusks, due to the high prices for ivory. Many elephants die for a few handful of rice. Conflict with resident farmers is a second issue, which also proofs deadly for the elephant. The missing living space is an other cause for the species extinction and has dramatic dimensions. All living beings are affected.

Our world becomes more and more infertile. Day by day.

Elephants of Cameroon, Apes and all other wild species and their collision with modern civilisation, are in WPE’s focus. Finally WPE serves human beings. This has an adverse effect on global humanity as a whole.  Projects have to be established, to help integrate farmers in wildlife projects and financial aid is needed, to compensate for damaged crop.

Making it profitable for local residents to conserve nature rather than destroy it, is one of the key concepts of WPE’s projects. The attention of WPE contents the rain forest, the steppes and savanna sceneries and the respective biodiversity. WPE is connected with experts from all over the world and profits from their experiences by a global network.

The aim of WPE is to commercialise the nature conservation. The local population is integrated from beginning on to show that thereby also sturdy financial advantages originate. This is the best incentive for the people to protect nature instead of destroying them. The tourism and the production of ecologically correct products creates employments and offers to the people the chance to lead a worth living life! A profit for the nature, because it is worthwhile to protect it.
