Responsible travel.com announces partnership with Friends of Conservation
Responsibletravel.com has announced it will donate £1 from every booking made through its website to Friends of Conservation (FOC).
Friends of Conservation:
FOC are a charity committed to working with local peoples to develop and promote a balance between their needs and those of the wildlife with which they share their natural habitat and ecosystems.
On the Masai Mara in Kenya FOC involves schools and local communities in projects to help protect their surrounding environment and the wildlife that attract tourists to the Reserve. Friends of Conservation have recently increased their support to preserve the Cano Negro Wetlands in Costa Rica.
