A non-profit organization through which travelers can support conservation and
help indigenous people at a local level worldwide.
The Travelers Conservation Trust (TCT) was established in 1986 as a nonprofit,
affiliate organization of Wildland Adventures, Inc. on the basis that culturally
and environmentally sensitive tourism is a powerful force for conservation
and community development. The TCT identifies means by which Wildland Adventures
and our travelers can support local, small-scale projects that protect the
environment and help local communities. By inviting our travelers to be more
sensitive and conscientious guests, TCT provides an alternative to exploitative
and destructive elements of conventional tourism. This link between travel
and conservation enhances your travel experience and allows authentic cultural
encounters through learning, sharing and making a contribution.
 Travel with Wildland Adventures to Guatemala
and become our partner to help improve
the lives of Mayan women by joining us
in becoming a supporting member of MayaWorks.
The non-profit native organization builds
community by supporting the economic development
of women who otherwise have limited opportunities
to provide financial support for their
families. Through scholarships, micro loans,
and small business assistance, MayaWorks
gives women an opportunity to earn an income
from their skills thereby developing self-confidence
and hope for themselves, their children,
their family and their village.
