Protecting Communities, Cultures, and Ecosystems

We firmly believe that tourism can be a powerful force for good, contributing to wildlife conservation and the well-being of local communities. Ethical Wildlife tourism is a fundamental aspect of that. We make a clear commitment to:

-We have a comprehensive animal welfare policy to guide our operations

-Educate our guests about responsible wildlife tourism

-Promote wildlife-friendly experiences that allow animals to exhibit natural behaviors in their native habitats

Our commitment extends beyond wildlife to encompass the broader aspects of responsible tourism:

– Community Engagement: We work with local communities to ensure our tours benefit them economically while respecting their cultural traditions and way of life. 

– Environmental Conservation: Our tours are designed to minimize environmental impact, promoting sustainable practices, protect the entire ecosystem and in its inhabitants and supporting local conservation efforts.

– Cultural Preservation: We strive to showcase Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage in a respectful and authentic manner

Navigating Challenges in Indonesia

Operating in Indonesia presents unique challenges when it comes to wildlife protection and responsible tourism. The country’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage make it a prime destination for wildlife encounters, but this also means we must be vigilant in our efforts to promote ethical practices.

Addressing Local Practices: We recognize that some traditional or long-standing tourism activities in Indonesia may not align with our wildlife protection goals. We are committed to working closely with local communities and partners to find alternative, sustainable solutions that benefit both wildlife and people.

Education and Awareness: A key part of our strategy is to educate both our staff and customers about the importance of wildlife protection (for example). We provide training to our guides and partners, ensuring they understand and can communicate the principles of responsible wildlife tourism.

Supporting Genuine Sanctuaries: We actively seek out and promote genuine wildlife sanctuaries and conservation projects in Indonesia, providing our customers with meaningful experiences that contribute to animal welfare and habitat preservation.
