Exodus Adventure Travels launches conservation fundraising campaign

Exodus Adventure Travels has launched a major fundraising campaign to support its mission of supporting communities to protect key species around the world.

The ‘Wild at Heart’ initiative was set up by the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation following the introduction of two new projects – saving endangered primates in Vietnam and supporting jaguar conservation in Costa Rica.

The fundraiser will support initiatives across all of Exodus’ key destinations, including existing projects aimed at maintaining tiger habitats in India, protecting elephants in Kenya and educating communities on bear preservation in Italy.

Kasia Morgan, head of sustainability at Exodus Adventure Travels, said: “Connecting adventurous travellers with incredible destinations is what we do, always with a view to how our adventures can benefit local species, environments and communities.

“Our ‘Wild at Heart’ campaign is the next chapter in this commitment to support thriving nature and thriving people.

“We are excited to invite Exodus customers to join us in supporting this campaign, and helping protect the places they explore, and the species that make these destinations memorable.

“We’ve made it as easy as possible for people to contribute to the project of their choice, and 100% of donations will go towards the work on the ground.

“As little as £5 could fund a set of camera batteries to monitor the reintroduction of a jaguar prey species in Costa Rica, while £12 is enough to equip a local Rewilding Ranger in Vietnam with essential patrol gear.”

The Primate Survival Project in Vietnam aims to train locals to become rangers, carry out drone-based surveys to assess primate populations, train community members to track wildlife signs and habitat changes, and provide tailored training to conservation staff.

Eco-tourism experiences such as guided wildlife walks, forest treks and conservation-themed village visits will follow.

The Jaguar Resilience Project in Costa Rica has been created with an aim to reverse the decline of the white-lipped peccary – a vital prey animal.

The project will also work with local communities on sustainable tourism and environmental education and train local Rewilding Ambassadors to lead education programmes and build sustainable livelihoods.
