Check out all of the 2022 Travel Conservation Auction Items.

We sat down with our latest ATCF member, Helinox, to learn why they became a member. They believe in the conservation of tourism destinations because they are travelers and adventurers. They revel in the diversity and beauty of the natural world and are committed to preserving these places.

In this issue:

• New membership categories (lowered pricing for travel industry & media)

• Welcome new & renewing members!

• Project update from 2020 grantee Friends of Cochamo

• Royal Robbins raises $7,000 for ATCF

• Three questions for Adventure Trailblazer Toad&Co

• And more

“We believe that if we all work together to make conscious choices, it means a brighter, more joyful future for all of us.”

Friends of Cochamo received a $10,000 grant from ATCF in 2020. JB Haab, program director of the Front Range Climbing Stewards and member of the board of Friends of Cochamo, gave us an update on the “From Horse Guides to Conservation Stewards, Chile” project.

An update from The Whales of Guerrero, one of our 2021 Grant Winners. “Now that we know we can launch at least one land-based survey thanks to ATCF support, we have sprung into action! We dream of running 6 sites simultaneously and involving the whole community in the creation of a mother/calf humpback whale sanctuary in Guerrero.”

6 NEW conservation initiatives in Chile, Cambodia, Botswana, Palestine, and Bolivia. Our 6th grant winner, in Guyana, was funded by travelers from all around the world! During the month of December, we were able to raise over $10,000 in donations from individuals who care about conservation and the protection of our travel destinations.

We did it! Last month we launched our Fund a Ranger campaign and with your help, in just four short weeks, we raised over $26,000! These funds will be going directly to three organizations around the world, including Kenya, Belize, and Namibia, to get rangers back into the wild protecting our world’s most valuable species.
