From providing a sustainable income to local people living in wildlife-rich areas, to creating advocates for species conservation, we believe wildlife travel is a force for good for both the traveller and the destination. However, like everything, holidays have a carbon footprint. It is our responsibility to minimise this impact, not just for this year, but every year to come.

We've measured the total carbon footprint of our business operation - including our headquarters, tour operations, customer flights and business travel - and we're now on a mission to reduce it year on year. We know this won't be easy, but this isn't a reason to delay starting our journey towards net zero emissions. Right now we don't have all the answers, nor are we claiming to be perfect, but each year we will strive to improve.

For now, we continue to make donations to build our Naturetrek Reserve in Ecuador in order to offset flight emissions, and we encourage our clients to do the same.
