Natural Habitat Adventures will offset travellers’ lives for a year for bookings on ‘Climate Change & the Wild World’ tours
Natural Habitat Adventures (NHA) will offset a year’s worth of carbon output for anyone who joins one of the 2020 trips from the company’s new 35th anniversary series, ‘Climate Change & the Wild World’.
Using a carbon calculator developed by UC Berkeley’s Cool Climate Network, NHA is taking a conservative measure by assuming a CO2 output of roughly 60 to 65 metric tonnes for its qualifying guests.
However, if a traveller books a Climate Change & the Wild World trip and believes their output exceeds Nat Hab’s estimations, the brand will offset them accordingly.
In order to achieve these offsets, NHA will invest in carbon credits in partnership with sustainability consultant South Pole.
The credits will then fund three community and conservation projects: the construction of wind farms in India, the distribution of fuel-efficient, electricity-generating cookstoves to households in Rwanda, and the development of a rain forest biodiversity corridor in Zimbabwe.
Save on Scandinavia with Beyond Travel

Available if booked and deposited by 31 January, the savings will be enjoyed during the 10-day escorted tour, exploring Copenhagen to Stockholm with a mix of historic capitals and fjords.
Further highlights of the tour include visits to the Hanseatic city of Bergen, the Vøringsfossen Waterfall, and travelling across Hardanger Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridge spans in the world.
