Take a Conservation Vacation

Support wildlife with a conservation trip

Illegal hunting, poaching, wildlife trafficking, mining, grazing, and logging are all common practices for people who struggle to earn a living from the land. This is the challenge of conservation — how to find a balance between the natural world and the needs of its human inhabitants.

What can you do? Travel! Conservation tourism helps achieve this balance. It offers a non-extractive livelihood for local people, giving an economic incentive to keep wildlife alive and habitats intact.

In Africa, sustainable lodges that prioritize both conservation and community are key to preserving and protecting wildlife and support essential ranger activities that patrol conservation areas. In some African countries, poachers have become rangers and guides, protecting the very animals they once hunted.
