Return to Wild

Return to Wild Return to Wild is a project save rainforests from destruction, create life-changing wilderness retreats, and enable social entrepreneurs to Retire Tropical.

Join Us! Our Name
Return to Wild has two meanings. The first, is to return developed land to its original wild splendor. The second, is for us to return to a lifestyle connected and in harmony with nature. Our Mission
Return to Wild is a project to create a global community built on the values of environmental conservation, personal and community development, and living in harmony with nature. Our

rainforest reserves are laboratories for conservation, sustainable tourism, and small footprint living. We provide fun, educational, and inspiring activities and programs for individuals and families that share our conservation values. Wilderness Retreat
Our wilderness retreat provides recreational activities like paddle boarding, snorkeling, yoga, and guided nature hikes year around. In addition, we host experiential classes and workshops with a specific recurring theme for each month of the year. For example, music & art, nutrition & fitness, and personal development. Saving the Rainforest
Land acquisition and community facilities are funded through the purchase of shares in the organization. This grants the shareholder a lifetime lease of a parcel that can be developed in accordance with the current International Green Construction Code and in keeping with the community standards. In addition, shareholders enjoy unlimited use of all community facilities. Shareholders not living on-site may rent their homes through R2W to provide passive income. Right of Survivorship extends only to the shareholder’s legal spouse/partner at time of death. Following the passing of a shareholder, homes are maintained by R2W and rented to fund additional land acquisition and conservation efforts. A conservation easement is placed on the title of all properties and granted to the Nature Conservancy. This ensures our rainforest is protected for perpetuity. Retire Tropical
R2W is structured to provide a low cost, small-footprint tropical lifestyle to retired and semi-retired residents. Community resources like a co-op, permaculture garden, vehicles, and wind and solar power may allow some shareholders to retire earlier than the would otherwise might. Interested residents are encouraged to work in business and operation roles as a way of contributing to our success and to providing them with supplemental income. How you can Help
The success of Return to Wild depends on connecting passionate environmentalist from diverse professional backgrounds with the right strategic roles. Leaders with expertise in finance, marketing, law, and non-profit management will be essential. The broader our collective backgrounds, experiences, and talents, the more creative and resourceful we can be in bringing this unique and innovative conservation model to life. R2W will be structured as a non-profit and made up of a Board of Directors, Shareholders, and Collaborators. Board members, who are also shareholders, will guide strategy. Shareholders provide the capital for purchasing and protecting land. Everyone starts as a Collaborator. Someone like you, who wants to channel their concern into action. Someone that is excited about what Return to Wild could be. Someone who can bring ideas to life! Embrace your Inner Treehugger... Join Us!

My problem is that I don't know what to do (other than vote, call, and donate) when the leader of my country is actively trying to betray my country's principles. I have no model for how to behave in a situation where the US is being invaded from the inside.
