Going Ape Vision

Increasing Awareness, Sharing Passion and Creating Opportunities

Going Ape aims to connect us with our roots in nature, preserving the world's rainforests as well as ancient shamanistic knowledge and traditions of indigenous tribes of the rainforests.

1. Increase Awareness for the Protection of the World's Rainforests

Going Ape offers an opportunity, where everybody can share their passion and inspirations for the preservation of the world's rainforest and get involved in Going Ape Events.

2. Sharing our Passion and Committment for the World's Rainforests

Go Ape, be part of the rainforest tribe and support its protection through volunteering. The world's rainforests are the home for more than half of all animal and plant species on Earth, as well as for many indigenous tribes whose lives depends on the rainforests.

3. Creating Opportunities for a Sustainable Society

Going Ape aims to connect us with our roots in nature and empowering us to be the change that we want to see. The rainforests are the second-largest ecosystems on the planet. If rainforests are deforested CO2 is released into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.
