Rap Guide to Wilderness
As The WILD Foundation grows older, we've also grown wiser. Definitely WILDER! With all the new advances in technology and the increase of people moving from the countryside to the city, we've learned that we need to find a new way to connect people with wilderness. Whether you live near or far from a wild area, we are all a part of nature. We need your help to finish a unique and ambitious project that will bring wilderness to people all around the world!


We recently began working with Canadian hip-hop artist Baba Brinkman on a collection of rap songs that capture the spirit of our conservation efforts in a way that is infectious and heartfelt. Baba is an irrepressible and undeniably creative force who forges art and science into new musical tools for a better world. Because of this and his personal connection with nature, we asked him to create the Rap Guide to Wilderness

We've heard the songs, and they're awesome! You can check out a demo recording of the lead single "Go WILD" (performed at WILD10) right now. We're all very excited about this album, but we need your help to get it finished, and to spread the word about Baba's music and the message. 

Rap Guide to Wilderness: Indiegogo Launch
Rap Guide to Wilderness: Indiegogo Launch

Here's where YOU come in: we've just launched a 30-day Indiegogo campaign and need to raise $15,000 to get the Rap Guide to Wilderness album produced. Your donations and support will help us finish the album and also to an incredible music video. Most importantly, your donation will help inspire new generations to connect with the wild! Please help with any contribution that you can afford! Even if you can't afford anything, help us spread the word.

Perks

Your contributions will earn you awesome perks like digital downloads, signed CD's and t-shirts, and also amazing personalized benefits including original freestyles and songs written for you by Baba Brinkman. The ones that we're most excited about: the chance to name a species that gets referenced in the lyrics, and the chance to have a character in the music video based on YOU!

Album Launch

Baba has been booked to perform at the World Parks Congress in Sydney, Australia this November 2014; a once-ever-ten-years meeting of the world's conservation organizations, both government and non-profit. With this 30-day campaign, we can just get the project completed in time for Baba to premiere the new music video and release the album on the world stage at WPC2014. 

Please contribute what you can and share with your friends, family and colleagues. Help us make this incredible project come to life and inspire a new generation of conservationists with a passion for protecting the wild!
