How does your business support and protect biodiversity where you operate? Today is International Day For Biological Diversity. Tourism is not just a victim of climate change, it also contributes to the problem, and that includes biodiversity loss. The future of tourism relies on nature flourishing, so it would be shortsighted of Wild Adventures Melbourne (WAM) to operate in a way that delivers extraordinary experiences in Australia's spectacular and iconic nature, yet did nothing to support and protect ecosystems and biodiversity. As a tourism operator, i'm acutely aware that WAM needs to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. That has been in our DNA since the very beginning. This is why I created the WAM 4 Project. The WAM 4 Project is dedicated to supporting the long-term conservation and protection of nature, wildlife and culture on the Mornington Peninsula and surrounds so that it can thrive and be enjoyed for generations to come. You can find out more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/guZSc-9M WAM strives to protect, restore and enhance biodiversity in multiple ways including supporting restoration of reefs and kelp forests, planting native trees and other plants, saving energy, cleaning up eliminating and reducing waste, ethical supply chains and more. We will be posting more soon and how WAM is connecting the dots with the impact on nature and direct actions we are taking to cause a ripple effect of positive difference. #biodiversity #internationaldayforbiologicaldiversity #positiveimpacttourism #ecotourism

We are right at the beginning of a program (and a journey) that we are confident will strengthen teams working to revitalize latent built heritage and push the topic of revitalization into the public discourse. The "HSSP- Heritage Stewardship Support Program" builds on the previous edition, "Capitalizing on Derelict Spaces for Local Ecotourism Development" (June 2022 - July 2023), an extensive documentation of the different typologies of latent assets in the country, interdisciplinary, passionate and dedicated revitalization teams, challenges and opportunities in the field of latent built heritage valorization. The HSSP edition (2024- 2026) has three components, which will run in parallel: ➤ a sub-program of strategic support, mentoring, and capacity building for organizations working in the recovery and revitalization of latent built heritage, organized together with Synerb; ➤ strengthening the Latent/Emergent learning and practice community, started in the first edition, now counting 50 members; ➤ Elaboration of a joint policy paper on railway heritage. We look forward to working with the people who keep Romania's heritage alive, collaborating with international experts in heritage interpretation and strategic fundraising, delving into stories, places, and communities, and facilitating a legal framework to support revitalization. HSSP is funded through the Romanian American Foundation. Read more in the project entry below.

The Riviera Maya has earmarked approximately 100 million pesos in 2024 to combat the sargassum seaweed challenge, underscoring the severity of its impact on local tourism and ecosystems. This substantial investment signals a proactive approach towards preserving the region's natural beauty and economic vitality. ABASCO's expertise in deploying aquatic barriers presents a viable solution to this issue. Their technology is designed to contain and manage sargassum, mitigating its effects on beaches and marine life. ABASCO's approach aligns with the region's efforts, offering efficient and environmentally friendly strategies to address the sargassum influx. The collaboration between regional initiatives and ABASCO's innovative solutions could provide a blueprint for other affected areas worldwide. By investing in such technologies, communities can protect their coastal environments, ensuring the sustainability of their ecosystems and economies. https://lnkd.in/gUzkaqWP

Rhinos are not only vital for maintaining the ecological balance of their habitats, but they also play an essential role in supporting the socio-economic well-being of local communities. National parks and private reserves draw thousands of visitors each year, boosting local economies through tourism, hospitality, and guiding, as well as conservation-related jobs and education programmes. For many indigenous communities, rhinos hold deep cultural significance, often featuring in traditions and folklore. Protecting rhino populations through conservation efforts helps preserve these traditions, ensuring that the cultural heritage tied to rhinos remains intact for future generations. By safeguarding rhinos, we also help sustain the cultural fabric and livelihoods of the communities that rely on them. #GlobalHumaneConservationFundofAfrica #GlobalHumaneAfrica #GlobalHumane #Conservation #RhinoConservation #SaveTheRhino #WildlifeProtection #EcoTourism #CulturalHeritage #CommunityConservation #SustainableTourism #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeTourism
