Nature conservation and species protection:
Together against climate change
If we as humans want to survive, we have no choice:
Preserve habitats intact and save biodiversity on our planet – and survive. That’s why we have come together with WWF:
The WWF is involved in the entire world for nature and wildlife conservation. That means rainforests, living oceans and the protection of endangered species.
That closes the cycle because all of these topics are related causally as one with one of the biggest challenges of our time: climate change
Let us therefore save the world – together and for each of our own interests. For us. Our children. And because we owe it to the world: Let's unite and create change.
Helping Band ist nicht gewinnorientiert, sondern als Initiative angelegt, die einen konkreten Beitrag zum Schutz unseres Planeten leistet.
Wir haben bereits 75.000 Euro aus eigenen Mitteln an den WWF gezahlt – unabhängig vom Verkauf der Bänder. Mit Helping Band schaffen wir die Möglichkeit, diesen Einsatz gemeinsam zu tragen, perspektivisch zu stabilisieren und weiter auszubauen.
A wristband for our oceans and coasts
Our oceans produce more than half of the oxygen we breathe. They regulate our global climate system. And they are the source for the global hydrological cycle that provides us with precipitation and fresh water. They also provide a vital food supply for nearly three billion people, especially in developing countries.

A wristband for saving our forests
Although there is even a net increase in forest area in the northern hemisphere, globally at least 14 million hectares of forest disappear on average every year, especially in the tropics. This corresponds to an area larger than Austria and Switzerland combined. The decline of valuable virgin forests is particularly dramatic. Worldwide, there are only two to three percent natural forests left.

Natural paradises such as the Amazon are threatened with broad destruction and being robbed of half of their animal and plant life. That’s why the global community in 2015 came together on the Paris Treaty that limits global warming to significantly less than two degrees Celsius. Nevertheless, people who argue against climate change continue to chop down important rain forests.

A wristband for saving endangered species
The decrease in biodiversity is caused significantly by human actions. This includes, for example, destruction of the animals' habitats or direct persecution and hunting for a wide variety of interests. WWF is globally engaged in the protection of endangered species such as tigers, gorillas, elephants and rhinoceros.

Exactly how much of the proceeds from each tape sold goes to the WWF?
Helping Band is a not-for-profit organisation, set up as an initiative that makes a tangible contribution to protecting our planet. We have already donated 75,000 euros to the WWF from our own funds – regardless of wristband sales. Through Helping Band, we are creating the opportunity to share this commitment, stabilise it in the long term and expand it further.
Which areas does the WWF support with these contributions?
The funding goes towards the WWF’s four core conservation areas: climate, forests, oceans and wildlife – for example, to help preserve and expand nature reserves and marine protected areas, and to protect endangered species.
Why did Helping Band choose the WWF of all organisations as its partner?
The WWF is one of the world’s leading organisations for environmental and species conservation and sets very strict sustainability standards for its partners. Helping Band has undergone and successfully completed the WWF’s comprehensive certification process.
