SUPPORTING GLOBAL PROJECTS
Mangrove planting in Madagascar
Madagascar is a nation with over 200,000 species of plants and animals that don’t exist anywhere else in the world. We are helping the non-profit Eden Reforestation Projects as they continue to reforest the island. Eden are world leaders in responsible reforestation, having already planted 265 million trees worldwide.
Cleaner and safer stoves in Malawi
As of 2014, clean cookstoves comprised just 1.3 percent of the addressable market. If adoption grows to 16 percent by 2050, reductions in emissions will amount to 15.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide. The additional benefits to the health of millions of households is not calculated here. Ecologi are working tirelessly to better peoples’ lives.
UK Climate & Nature Fund
The UK Climate & Nature Fund supports projects exclusively based in the UK, including reforestation, habitat restoration, biochar, and enhanced rock weathering for carbon removal.

DOING THINGS PAPERLESS
“Going Paperless” is the ethos of digitising anything that is unnecessarily applied to paper.
We have decided to take on this ethos and supply documents to our guests exclusively digitally.
We minimise paper use in the office and ensure all our contracts and other official documents are sent electronically and signed digitally.
We are proud to now be named “Paperless”.
Plant a tree in our forest, help us fight climate change & create a sustainable approach to travel & tourism.
