Our vision of sustainable development is closely linked to nature’s adaptability and regenerative potential. To achieve this, it is essential to preserve the diversity of ecosystems in Thailand through ecotourism, and to encourage synergies between various natural environments: mangroves, coral reefs, tropical forests…
Our activities span many areas that reinforce one another. We offer immersive experiences supervised by experts to promote both the learning of techniques and a reconnection with nature.
– Volunteers take part in a series of activities focused on six core themes:
– Research and conservation
– Tropical forest restoration
– Marine flora conservation
– Mangrove restoration
– Coral reef restoration
– Waste management
So, set off for an ecotourism experience in Thailand and make a positive impact on the region!
