Wildlife Promise:
By bringing people here with a professional zoologist as well as professional local guides we aim to showcase the environment in full but also to allow you to learn about the problems facing the ecosystems here and highlight the ways that continued development and human exploitation are affecting the species and how cutting edge research is countering the problems as well as showing you examples of success stories. We also keep a record of all the great sightings we see on each tour and record the environmental factors, this data is used by ourselves but also given to the researchers who are working on many of these species. Research groups like CCRU (which our guide for these tours has worked for) collect data on marine mammals for their on going studies. Such as contributing our pictures and videos to the local and global humpback whale identification programs.
The Impacts of this Trip
As with any of our tours of UK tours or elsewhere in the world we always employ local guides and experts where ever possible. They have a much better local knowledge and also helps to bring in revenue sources to the local community. All of the accommodations that we stay in make sure that all their resources such as food, drink and equipment is locally sourced. Some of these towns and villages are remote and have a strong community spirit and local produce is at the very heart of life here. So by using locally owned business and sourcing as many things from the local area we contribute to the benefit of the local economy. We also encourage the purchasing of local handicrafts which are all created in a sustainable way and provide great unique souvenirs; as this part of Scotland is rich in arts, culture and tradition. So where requested we always work with local artists and experts to bring this local culture and tradition to life throughout our tours. You will have opportunities to visit the workshops of local artists and artists and craftspeople and buy souvenirs directly from them.
