‘The Bucket List Eco Experiences: Traveling the World, Sustaining the Earth’

““Can we be truly eco if it requires us to fly? One of the most significant ways to fund environmental and social initiatives is by roaming from home. Yes we must reduce our carbon footprints — fly less, eat less meat, prioritise low-carbon activities — yet virtues aplenty come from leaving home, thanks to how we plan, where we go, who we stay with and who support along the way. Travel by train, go slower, buy local, waste less. Our aim with these recommendations for almost every country in the world is to engage travellers with the importance of biodiversity, the interconnected causes of the climate collapse and to empower the most vulnerable communities in every corner of our magnificent planet.

This book of one thousand “bucket list” ticks is a thought-prompting celebration of the edifying and enlightening ways our adventures create meaningful memories, stoke compassion for nature and nurture a deeper curiosity for how to support long-term environment innovations and social progress. Perhaps your dream mission is to relax off-grid in an unspoiled island paradise, or to have a Michelin-starred chef prepare an organic farm-to-fork feast? These pages may have you discovering it is playing citizen scientist in the protection or endangered wildlife, or having your perspective shifted through cultural immersions with remote Indigenous peoples.

Nature-positive lodges, change-making community enterprises and visionary iconoclasts await. We wish you well on your feel-good escapes — it will feel all the more rewarding spending time in a way that will make future generations smile.””
