Too high a percentage was going to GlobalGiving from each donation, so we decided to do the fundraiser from our own website where we could ensure that a higher % was going direct to these projects and communities that need the money the most. Thank you for your support.

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.
