INVEST IN TOURISM COMMUNITIES WHO SUPPORT CONSERVATION
This is happening now. Because we cannot travel. Communities are turning to deforestation, mining, wildlife trafficking. If we don’t help, these places will be destroyed.
THE CHALLENGE: Many destinations world-wide depend on tourism as their primary source of income. With the significant halt in travel during 2020, communities are turning towards extractive jobs as an alternative to tourism, in order to put food on the table. This includes logging, mining and wildlife trafficking, all of which will result in devastating long-term impacts of the travel destinations we love so much. As the travel industry recovers, it will be paramount to continue funding initiatives that safeguard communities and natural environments that the travel industry depends on for perpetuity.
Give NOW to protect for the future. During this pandemic, communities are suffering because of the lack of tourism. Your funding will help communities who are (1) dependent on tourism for economic stability, (2) near protected areas and in travel destinations, and (3) with projects focused on conservation and tourism. We have identified these communities and projects who have an acute, immediate need. By supporting these communities, we will create a ripple effect in their destination, so that when travel does reopen, these communities and wild places are still standing in pristine condition, ready to receive visitors.
