Supporting Conservation & Climate Action
Our love for the outdoors goes beyond being active in it – we also recognize our responsibility to protect it. Without rainforests and other natural habitats, we would not only forfeit the marvelous biodiversity which makes them so stunning, but also endanger the vital ecosystems which humans rely on.
Climate Action
We have been calculating our primary carbon dioxide emissions since 2007. Every year since then we have offset those emissions, plus an estimated figure for a pre-2007 year, by donating to the World Land Trust’s Carbon Balanced Program. These funds are used to regenerate damaged areas of habitat and prevent further deforestation by extending a range of reserves throughout Ecuador.
As well as a donation to cover our carbon footprint, we make a matching donation for use in World Land Trust’s most urgent appeals. The WLT Action Fund provides the means to make land purchases where ecosystems are under imminent threat.
About the World Land Trust
The World Land Trust strategy is to use donations to purchase land in areas of ecological importance, and work with local partners and communities to manage the reserves sustainably.
Working with local people is at the core of World Land Trust’s philosophy. Land protection is ultimately handed over to local NGOs, who are best placed to gain the support and understanding of the communities involved. Small scale sustainable development projects allow the reserves to support themselves, ensuring their long term survival. Visit the World Land Trust website to find out more.
