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.
 Forest and Bird is New Zealand’s largest national
conservation organization. Trip proceeds from Wildland Adventures
in New Zealand support a wide range of conservation and environmental
issues initiated by Forest and Bird. These include the protection
of native forests, tussock grasslands, wetlands, marine ecosystems,
energy and resource conservation, sustainable fisheries and
land management. Forest and Bird is also involved in rainforest
conservation throughout the South Pacific.
