From the rainforests of Madagascar and Borneo to the coral reefs of Egypt, the wild landscapes of Alaska and Canada, and the communities protecting them… the places that inspire us to travel need us.
Travelers for Conservation
We believe travel and conservation aren't separate.
We travel to experience extraordinary landscapes, encounter wildlife, connect with cultures, and explore places unlike our own. But those experiences depend on healthy ecosystems and thriving local communities.
As travelers, we have a role to play in protecting them.
The Conservation Collection makes it easy. We've done the work of identifying and vetting 15 exceptional grassroots conservation projects around the world. You choose to give. Together, we make the impact bigger.
Where your support can go
15 projects.
1 shared purpose.
This Giving Tuesday, travelers around the world are coming together to help fund the ATCF Conservation Collection: 15 community-led conservation projects protecting wildlife, wild places, and the people who steward them.

The Collection
by the Numbers
One traveler
might help plant one tree.
Together
we can restore an entire wildlife corridor.
One traveler
can care deeply about protecting wildlife.
Together
we can help communities safeguard endangered elephants, lemurs, whale sharks, sea turtles, coral reefs and some of the world's most extraordinary wild places.
Whether you give $25, $50, $100 or more, your contribution joins hundreds of others to create something much bigger: collective action for the places we love to explore.
We’ve already secured $100,000. Now we’re asking travelers to help us raise an additional $20,000 to fund more projects in the Collection.
