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 authentic cultural encounters
through learning, sharing and making a contribution.
 Established
in 1966 by Queen Noor and the late King Hussein, The
Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in Jordan is an independent
voluntary organization devoted to conserving Jordan's natural
heritage. Its mission is to protect wildlife and wildlife
habitat by establishing nature reserves, breeding programs,
educational opportunities, and ecotourism projects that integrate
conservation with economic development. They have created
over 750 nature clubs for school children and community groups,
trained naturalists to manage wildlife reserves, and protected
rare indigenous species from extinction. Their support for
ecotourism development projects has helped preserve cultural
heritage and revive many rural communities. We provide an
opportunity for Wildland travelers to Jordan to see some
of these projects first-hand, and to become members of the
Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature.
