We always work with locally owned hotels and support National Parks and work within their conservation and education remit. Wherever possible and where such schemes exist, hotel bases will be award-winning hotels that are approved by the National Park and run themselves with the environment in mind. We are committed to running real wildlife conservation research expeditions to all corners of the Earth. Our projects are not tours, photographic safaris or excursions but genuine research expeditions, promoting sustainable conservation and preservation of the planet's wildlife by forging alliances between scientists and the public. Our goal is to make, through our expedition work, an active contribution towards a sustainable biosphere. We believe in empowering ordinary people by placing them at the centre of scientific study and by actively involving them out in the field, where there is conservation work to be done.
We always work in close conjunction with local people and scientists and try our best to ensure that the fruits of our expedition work benefit our local helpers, their society and the environment they live in. Adventure, remote locations, different cultures and people are part and parcel of our expeditions, but also the knowledge that you will have played an active role in conserving part of our planet's biosphere. We exist for those who, through their hands-on work, want to make a difference to the survival of the particular species or habitat under investigation, and to the world at large. We invite everyone to come and join us out in the field, at the forefront of conservation, to work, learn, experience and take responsible guardianship of our biosphere.
To achieve this we will wherever possible, collaborate with reputable scientists, research institutions and educational establishments (wherever possible from the host nation) who are experts in their field, collaborate with organisations and businesses which operate in an ethical and/or sustainable way, operate in an ethical and sustainable way, minimising negative impacts on local cultures, environments and economies, publish results and recommendations based on collaborative work together with those who helped gather data and draw conclusions.
Please note that we have won multiple awards that shows our committment to conservation and the environment. Two of the most prominent awards are "Best Volunteering Organisation" at the 2006 Responsible Tourism Awards and higly commended for "Best for Conservation of Endangered Species" at the 2007 awards.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
