Promoting Environmental Awareness

All our Guides are trained by Footprint Consulting Ltd in the emerging field of eco-psychology. Eco-Psychology explores our individual and cultural relationships with nature as a framework for promoting sustainable development. This training allows our guides to complement their technical skills (ice climbing, kite surfing) with elements of environmental education.

We try our best to be "Low Impact"

Most current forms of travel and tourism involve burning fossil fuels resulting in a negative impact on the environment. We aim to minimise our impact on global eco-systems by promoting lower emission travel wherever possible.

We aim to offset the carbon emissions resulting from your travel by stimulating environmental awareness and promoting practices that encourage us all to live in harmony with the eco-systems on which we depend rather than in conflict, which is so often the case.

We involve ourselves in "Positive Environmental Projects"

One of these initiatives is the "Leopard Mountain Ranch Project". We have bought 8000 hectares of border-wilderness land in South Africa and are working with the WWF and Work for Water to clear exotic vegetation which is damaging the local eco-system by depriving it of available water. If this process is left unchecked it would likely result in the desertification of the area with profound effects on all local wildlife and human populations who depend on the land.

"The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and fragility of nature, the less taste we shall have for her destruction."
