At Executive Angler, we firmly believe that responsible tourism can be an extraordinary tool to connect people across borders and cultures. Our commitment to ecologically responsible, low-impact tourism goes back a very long time, and we actively support conservation and cultural groups such as the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, Trout Unlimited and others. We encourage you to learn about and support the important work of these organizations:
Wildlife Conservation Society
| http://www.wcs.org
The Wildlife Conservation Society works from their Bronx Zoo headquarters to save wildlife and wild lands throughout the world. WCS has field projects in 53 nations that provide leadership in environmental education.
Nature Conservancy | http://www.nature.org
The Nature Conservancy's mission is to preserve the plants, animals, and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. To date, they have worked with communities and businesses to protect more than 92 million acres of valuable lands and waters. There are currently 1400 Nature Conservancy preserves around the world.
Conservation International | http://www.conservation.org
Conservation International brings together leading experts in science and technology to collect and interpret data about biodiversity. Successes in the last few years include the protection of four million acres of pristine rainforest in Suriname, the establishment of a seven-million-acre protected zone in Peru, and the prevention of a water diversion project in Namibia that would have devastated the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
Trout Unlimited | http://www.tu.org/
Trout Unlimited's mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds. TU accomplishes this mission on local, state and national levels with an extensive and dedicated volunteer network.
TU's national office, based just outside of Washington, D.C., and its regional offices employ professionals who testify before Congress, publish a quarterly magazine, intervene in federal legal proceedings, and work with the organization's 125,000 volunteers in 500 chapters nationwide to keep them active and involved in conservation issues.
