Donation to the Alternative Wolf and Bear Park

We are committed to supporting animal welfare and wildlife protection in Germany and are proud to donate to the Alternative Wolf and Bear Park in the Black Forest in Bad Rippoldsau-Schapbach, Baden-Württemberg, as well as in Worbis, Thuringia. Both locations provide rescued bears, wolves and lynxes with a safe, species‑appropriate environment after years of suffering in captivity.

A Sanctuary for Rescued Wild Animals

Many of the animals come from circuses, zoos, private ownership or tourist attractions, where they were often kept in extremely small enclosures – some even in garages or concrete cages. Many suffer from severe physical and psychological trauma to the extent where they unfortunately cannot be rehabilitated for life in the wild. However at the Alternative Wolf and Bear Park, they finally have the chance to recover in spacious, natural habitats and rediscover their instincts.

Every donation helps

The foundation relies entirely on donations and sponsorships. As a regional company, it was important to us to contribute with a donation. Our contribution: the Zeno Recycling Ballpoint Pen in in the park’s colours – light and dark green – featuring a digitally printed bear motif on the clip. A little eye-catcher that helps spread the park’s message and reminds you, every time you write with it, to do something for the animals.

Visit the Parks in the Black Forest or Thuringia

If you are travelling near Bad Rippoldsau‑Schapbach in the Black Forest or Worbis in Thuringia, a visit is absolutely worthwhile. Observe bears, wolves and lynxes in a natural environment – and maybe you’ll spot our pens in the gift shop!
