Conservation
WildWings are totally committed to the conservation of the natural world and we donate money to ‘front-line’ organisations and projects every year. In operating our own tours and holidays we use local businesses and guides in each destination to inject money and employment into the areas that our clients visit. Since 2004, we have been donating money annually to the ‘Save the Albatross’ campaign for each customer that we send to Antarctica. This is also supported by our tour leaders when they travel on our various expedition ships and we are pleased to be donating thousands of pounds a year to this crucial campaign as a result. Special thanks to the passenger’s of this year’s WPO who raised nearly £2000 during the voyage.
We continue our annual OBC Conservation Awareness Award too, 2006/7 going to a pheasant conservation project in the Annapurna region of Nepal.
