Bird Holidays is the world's first travel company to carbon balance all the flights undertaken by its tour guides and clients.
We have done this by funding the puchase and reforestation of land at Yanacocha in Ecuador.
20,000 native trees will be planted at the Reserva Bird Holidays, recreating cloud forest on land which is currently cow pasture.
The existing reserve at Yanacocha is the last know haunt of the Black-breasted Puffleg, a critically endangered hummingbird. The new reserve will create vital new habitat for this species, in addition to many other birds, mammals and insects.
Our partners in this project are the World Land Trust www.worldlandtrust.org and the Jocotoco Foundation www.fjocotoco.org
You can travel with us in the knowledge that you are a small part of the solution to global warming. To find our more about how you can help visit www.carbonbalanced.org
