Support Conservation Through These Charities

Posted on by

There are many ways to support conservation efforts around the world and help preserve the habitats the birds we love inhabit.  One way, which is heavily featured throughout this blog is ecotourism and supporting the local communities directly so they are motivated to keep their wild birds and animals wild and free.  Another way is to donate to registered charities who work with the local communities.

So please help us see more of THIS……………….

Don’t you just love when big corporations such as United Airlines want to give something back?  They have 38 charities listed HERE and you can vote once per day who you want to win.  They are all very worthy causes but since this blog is about conservation and eco-travel, I want to draw your attention to Conservation International.

Conservation International (CI) empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature, global biodiversity, and the long-term wellness of humanity by using a foundation of science, partnership, and field demonstration. Founded in 1987, CI has over 900 biologists, social scientists, economists, policy experts, communicators, educators, and other professionals working in more than 40 countries on 4 continents with over 1,000 international partners.

Winning a large number of frequent flyer miles would allow them to send more biologists and researchers to projects to help conserve the local wildlife.

Even if you find yourself drawn to one of the other charities, just please vote!  It feels good to help worthy causes!
