How Travelers Can Help Save Galapagos
It’s no secret that the extraordinary diversity of Galapagos is endangered. Now though, in celebration of Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday, Adventure Life, an eco-travel company, is offering discounted eco-tours to Galapagos, while at the same time raising money for critical scientific, conservation, and education work in the Galapagos National Park.
Adventure Life now includes a voluntary minimum donation of $50 per person on Galapagos tours. The donation goes to the Galapagos Conservancy, which supports the work of the Charles Darwin Foundation. Donors are rewarded with a voucher matching their donation to use on their Adventure Life tour. As of last June, the company’s tours have raised nearly $40.000 for conservation projects on Galapagos.
Founded in 1999, Adventure Life specializes in small group tours to Central and Sough America. Tours are designed to have positive impact on the local culture and environment. Travelers get to explore local culture, including life from remote villages to bustling city markets, as well as the local ecology. The company is committed to relying on local guides, family run hotels and local transportation.
