Responsable

Our Policy

• To focus, particularly, on visiting national parks, wildlife reserves and wilderness areas which, by and large, do not benefit from the rewards of mass market tourism.
  
• To minimise environmental damage by exploring in small groups and, as much as possible, on foot.
  
• To use, wherever possible, local guides… and to train them to the highest standards expected by modern-day wildlife tourists.
  
• To involve local communities wherever possible in our operations, and to ensure that they receive a fair share of the benefits of wildlife tourism.
  
• To use, wherever possible, small, locally owned, family-run accommodation, and similarly owned and operated specialist local agents/ground operators with a wildlife/conservation bias and sympathy.
  
• To purchase, where possible, local produce.
  
• To develop and commit to long-term plans to visit rural areas and support the local communities.
  
• To contribute financially or materially to projects local to the areas that we visit (ie. schools, hospitals, etc.)
  
• To educate the local people on the importance and long-term benefits of wildlife tourism.
  
• To keep our clients well-informed on aspects of wildlife management and conservation.
  
• To work with European and overseas conservation organisations to develop new wildlife tourism destinations.
  
• To run our Spanish office in as energy-efficient a manner as possible.
  
• It is our aim to encourage and develop a passion for wildlife and wild places amongst our customers (many of whom are novices, trying this form of holiday for the first time), and the conservation of them.
