Conservation

© 

Nat Hab's conservation philanthropy includes not only WWF but support for local grassroots efforts worldwide.

Conservation travel has transformative power. It benefits communities, safeguards wildlife and preserves cultural heritage. In addition to our conservation travel partnership with World Wildlife Fund established in 2003, Natural Habitat Adventures also supports various philanthropic initiatives in the destinations we visit. Our commitment to conservation and sustainable development inspires our leadership role in boosting grassroots efforts in places our guests have come to know and love. We actively pursue innovative efforts to protect the environment and promote the welfare of local communities. 

If you are in charge of a sustainability project that aligns with our values in places we operate, or if you wish to learn more about our existing projects, please email us or call Court Whelan, Nat Hab's Chief Sustainability Officer, at 800-543-8917.
