Macaws, humpback whales, sea turtles, bioluminescence, jungle, waterfall .. Aren’t these words magical?! Many visitors want to experience this and tour agencies know it! Unfortunately the income that it can generate becomes a priority above the protection of the species we want to watch and learn about.
Tourism is a two-sided coin. Construction of big hotels, resorts, bigger roads to facilitate the access, brings money and work opportunities to the area but also reduces and contaminates the natural environment that is the home of many species. They have to adapt and eventually disappear. To contribute to this situation many nature lovers give their time and energy to protect animals, reforest and so, but unfortunately they are very underpaid and need more hands and income to keep doing their necessary and noble labor.
Mixing these important activities with tourism is first of all a work of sensibilization. On the one hand it shows the community that it is possible to earn a living protecting their environment and on the other hand it raises awareness of the visitors to pay more attention to their impact. It also brings an economic income that allows biodiversity guardians to live decently and keep doing their labor and it creates more jobs in this field.
Authentik Tours creates beautiful experiences hand in hand with biologists so you will be able, while observing and learning about wild species, to participate and support a noble and vital cause.
