Our Conservation Ethos
Conservation is at the very heart of all our journeys and it is one of the reasons A2A was established and why we continue to exist.
We focus our efforts on three key areas:
- Conservation Through Travel – all of our journeys and expeditions involve travel to and around conservation and biodiversity hotspots in Latin America, Antarctica, the Arctic and Africa.
- Speaker Series around Asia – a program we launched with partners in Africa back in 2002, we bring out and host speakers from Latin America several times a year - conservationists, influencers and leaders in various conservation fields in the continents we cover to help create awareness and highlight the plight of the people, the wildlife and wilderness areas we cover.
- Community Empowerment and Upliftment – we believe Latin America belongs firstly to its people, especially its youth and we try to gear our community projects to the continent's children.
Our mission is to make a difference to Latin America's dwindling wilderness areas, its people and its wildlife and to help preserve the Arctic, the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica.
