Support Our Work
The Wagenknecht Society began not in a boardroom, but in disillusionment: when the promise of space exploration proved narrower than truth itself. What was once sold as limitless turned out to be bound by politics and convenience. Out of that collapse came a rediscovery—the ocean, overlooked and ordinary, is often the greatest frontier of all.
From hermit crabs dismissed as “wreckers,” to giant clams forgotten because they hold no profit, our work begins with what others abandon. Balance restored in a single aquarium grew into a mission: that overlooked lives matter, and that precision, persistence, and care can change the outcome.
Your support helps carry that story forward. Every contribution fuels real research, care, and action—proof that science is not only data, but responsibility.
