Travel is the greatest education. Meeting those who call a place home, learning about their journey & seeing how different communities contribute to the fabric of a destination is life-changing. Here are 5 ways to #MakeTravelMatter in Brussels at @We_Exist_BE w/ @insightvacation!

This #WorldWildlifeConservationDay we'd like to give a shoutout to all our project partners protecting wildlife, from little to large! 🙌 The National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa @UTAS_ @WildEntrust @WildernessFdnSA

The Daintree Rainforest is one such area. No wonder there are plants found here that are only found in the fossil record elsewhere in the world. That's what makes it such a special place and so important to protect. Find our more by rewatching our video with @rfr_au.

Did you know "refugia" is the plural of the word "refugium", meaning an area where special environmental circumstances have enabled a species or a community of species to survive after extinction in surrounding areas.

🎬 Be sure to tune into GreenWave's video on Oct 16 #WorldFoodDay, to find out how kelp is as a nature-based solution to climate change. #Kelp #Algae #KelpForest #Ocean #MakeTravelMatter #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NatureBasedSolution

🐟 kelp forests provide food & shelter for thousands of species from fish to seals, whales to shore birds 🌊 kelp forests grow top down not bottom up and tower above the ocean floor

Ahead of our next video drop featuring one of our other nature-based solution partners, @GreenWaveOrg, let us be kelp-ful and tell you a bit more about the star of the show... kelp! 🌟

Next week, you’ll get to hear from Bren on the incredible work of GreenWave, and the ways that it supports and uplifts farmers and communities. #netzero #regenerativeoceanfarming #oceanfarming #naturebasedsolution #climateaction #sustainability #maketravelmatter #seaweed

Everyone, meet Bren Smith! He’s Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of @GreenWaveOrg , one of our project partners, which replicates and scales regenerative ocean farms to create jobs and protect the planet. Not only that, Bren is an ocean farmer himself.

GreenWave’s model is deployed for both reforestation - to restore ocean ecosystems and capture blue carbon and nitrogen - and for commercial farming, to grow seaweed and shellfish used for food, fertilizer, animal feed, bioplastics, and more.

Next Wednesday on #WorldFoodDay you will get to hear how our partner @GreenWaveOrg supports regenerative ocean farming. But, what is it?

Protecting wildlife, our planet, and people go hand-in-hand. That’s why we’re prioritizing nature-based solutions that are also addressing the biodiversity crisis, while uplifting communities. Photo credits: Slide 1: Ashley Coombs Slide 2: Mark Hamblin, scotlandbigpicture.com

Sadly, between 1970 and 2018, according to a @world_wildlife and Zoology Society London study, wildlife populations have plunged by an average of 69%, meaning populations of species have fallen dramatically and extinction risk is growing.

🦏 Making sure you travel with organization that have strict Animal Welfare policies like our founding brands @lionworldtravel and @_AfricanTravel_ #MakeTravelMatter #Wildlife #Conservation

🦏 Disabling geotagging on your images and social posts of animals seen in the wild so that poachers can't identify the location of the animals

This Sunday is #WorldRhinoDay ❓ Did you know? The black rhino is the most critically endangered animal in Africa!
