Feasibility study completed

In the feasibility study the project options for the Wilder Wald Hohenzollern forest were determined.

Forest Climate Protection Project

A forest with unique features

The Wilder Wald Hohenzollern, spread across 46 separate areas in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is distinguished by its evolution into a natural forest. Due to long-term, extensive restrictions on its use, this forest has achieved double the amount of carbon storage compared to managed forests. With a commitment to at least 50 years of abstaining from timber harvesting, the forest contributes to surpassing the political goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The uniqueness of this forest lies in its natural development, significant deadwood content, and the inclusion of organisms that are less common in managed forests, including woodpeckers and wood-decomposing microorganisms.

Natural Development and Biodiversity

The Wilder Wald Hohenzollern pursues a natural development, resulting in a diverse array of species. This contributes to the preservation of biological diversity and creates habitats for specialized animal and plant species.

Carbon-rich Deadwood Ecosystems

By abstaining from timber harvesting, a unique abundance of deadwood is created in the forest. These deadwood ecosystems facilitate decomposition and provide habitat for numerous organisms that are crucial for the forest cycle.

Sustainable Contribution to Climate Protection

The Wilder Wald Hohenzollern plays a key role in climate protection by acting as a significant carbon sink.

Genuine

Meaningful actions with your money

Protection Forests

Supporting the forest's protective function against avalanches, landslides, etc.

Problems of the forest

Insight into the challenges

To counteract the daily challenges in the forest and to create solutions for various problems in this forest, investments are used for the following issues.

Storm damage

Forest management faces the challenge of dealing with damages caused by storms. The planting of trees in areas affected by storms requires significant resources and effort.

Drought

Increasing drought poses a serious threat to the forest. Measures to adapt to this challenge, such as planting trees on dry areas, require financial investments.

Bark Beetle

The infestation of bark beetles poses a further challenge for the forest. Resources must be used to combat this pest in order to maintain the health of the forest.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

How does this project support the Sustainable Development Goals

We're committed to supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals in all our forest carbon projects, directly and indirectly, because they are important to us, the people we serve and provide a great framework to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.

SDG 13

Measures for climate protection

The Wilder Wald Hohenzollern natural forest project is helping to mitigate the effects of climate change by making a significant contribution to the conservation and revitalisation of forests.

SDG 15

Life on Land

The Wilder Wald Hohenzollern aims to protect life on land, preserve biodiversity, and promote sustainable forest management.

ISO 14064-2:2019 based Methodology

The SILVACONSULT® Forest Carbon Standard methodology in accordance with ISO 14064-2:2019 is applied. This standard ensures that companies use transparent and consistent methods to measure and report their emissions.

Externally Certified Projects

The validation of the project is carried out by an external certifier such as TÜV Nord. This is followed by annual monitoring.
