Land sanctuaries are neighboring plots of land or real estate properties available exclusively to WFPB members who wish to build conscious, kind, and sustainable homesteads around the world.
BUILDING SELF-SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
Mission.
As part of our commitment to the preservation of the land, soil, ecosystem, and our natural resources, it is our duty to create and support exemplary communities of like-minded individuals who in exchange will create land sanctuaries that are shared and enjoyed by humans and non-human animals in a conscious, kind, and sustainable way of living.
Purpose.
The purpose of these sanctuaries is to empower individuals to create their own sustainable communities and live in harmony with nature, regain and maintain good health, and achieve a self-dependent lifestyle. Land Sanctuaries are available to anyone who adheres to the following simple guidelines:
- Land may only be purchased by 100% plant-based and vegan individuals
- Use of land’s soil must comply to principles of vegan organic agriculture and/or vegan permaculture
- Crops grown in the property must be organic and come from non-GMO seeds
- Use of chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides is prohibited
- Animals may not be utilized, used, mistreated, abused, killed or exploited for any purpose whatsoever.
- Only sustainably-based materials for construction are permitted
- Composting, recycling, upcycling, and zero-waste habits are required
Non-compliance with the requirements above will result on the immediate revocation of the land or property and no funds will be returned to the purchaser or renter.
Specifications.
- Size: Available land/property sizes may vary depending on location.
- Use: Land may be used for homesteading purposes including, to live on it, grow organic vegetables, fruit trees, and other kind of vegetation, and to cohabit with animals and nature. A percentage of the land may also be used for plant-based agricultural purposes depending on the regional statutes of limitation.
- Animals: All Animals are welcome specially rescued farmed animals.
- Living: New construction and development of living spaces must be established under sustainable, renewable, and ecologically responsible practices including solar, wind, or other “off-the-grid” options, as much as possible. Owners should make responsible use of water, soil, and electricity, and opt for zero-waste practices.
- Zero-Waste: The use of single use plastic must be avoided and recycling and reusing is mandatory.
- Renewable Sources: Land plots may have available water sources, but it is the responsibility of the buyer to source water and other utilities to specific uses. Owners should make responsible use of water, soil, and electricity, and opt for zero-waste practices.
- Ownership: Land sanctuaries are designed to be havens of sustainability, consciousness, and harmony within humans and with the environment. The organization has the right to revoke ownership if new or existing owners do not observe to sustainable plant-based and vegan philosophies.
