Take a Conservation Vacation

Illegal hunting, poaching, wildlife trafficking, mining, grazing, and logging are all common practice 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.
