OUR MISSION 

Wild Europe is an NGO that tells stories about protecting wild places. We create films about the unseen heroes of environmental protection to give them a voice and to inspire others. We share these stories through film screenings, lectures, and photo exhibitions. We target young people by showing a diverse list of sustainable environmental-focused careers they can take in life.

Vortragsreihe

Discover Wild Europe through our keynote presentation. We are presenting Europe's wildest places and the inspiring people who have dedicated their lives to protecting nature. We will be on tour in the upcoming year in Germany and Switzerland. Join us as we explore untold stories, showcasing the beauty and fragility of nature.
