Voices for Biodiversity is an online, multimedia platform that shares the stories of people from around the globe about their experiences with biodiversity and other species. Their primary focus is on sharing the voices of those who usually would not be heard: indigenous and local peoples, women, youth, and others. This approach has resulted in the creation of a growing, interactive global community of people from all walks of life and from diverse organisations, who not only share their stories with the world but also become resources for each other to take action to protect biodiversity and other species.
We Travel was born out of a need to create travel experiences that give back something to the communities visited by its travellers. Its founding members have all witnessed the weight of the tourist industry at close hand. Anders, Jakob, Lars, and Mikkel have collectively spent more than 60 years as travellers, with travellers, and creating trips for travellers. And, time and again, their most striking experiences have been their encounters with local people, whether it be an employee at a hotel, a street food cook, or a local member of the community.
We Travel was founded in 2017 with the explicit aim of offering bespoke travel experiences that are unique and which give something back to a destination and its people – from hideaways to hammocks. For a start, the focus is on South East Asia, because the founders of We Travel are experts in this region. Soon, the rest of the world will be part of the portfolio.
– We Travel hand picks all hotels and tours to make sure they support one or more of the components, which make up socially responsible travel: Conservation, people, environment, and identity.
– We Travel deals directly with hotels and small tour operators.
– We Travel redefines the idea that luxury is merely a matter of price and stars.
– We Travel invests a part of its profits in local projects, for instance, a project for 150 families in a Lombok village called The Rainbow Village.

An ecotourism pioneer in Sabah since 1991, Borneo Eco Tours (BET) is truly ‘The Borneo Specialist’. Founder and Managing Director Albert Teo, has over forty years of experience in the tourism and hospitality industry. His vision and passion in ecotourism has pushed the organisation to be one of the most preferred travel operators in Borneo.
Renowned for their responsible tours and exceptional service, BET brings travellers exotic cultures, botanical wonders, ideal bird watching locations, scenic jungle and wildlife river safari, and exciting mountain trekking among others, right here in beautiful Borneo. BET also owns Sukau Rainforest Lodge – a well renowned ecolodge.
Borneo Eco Tours is at the forefront of developing and implementing sustainable environment and community based projects in Borneo through their non-profit division, Borneo Ecotourism Solutions and Technologies (BEST) Society, that enrich the lives of individuals, their families and the personnel who work to support and educate them.
Projecto Onçafari was created to promote environmental conservation and foster the socioeconomic development of the region where it is located through ecotourism and scientific studies. It is a conservation initiative which supports and promotes our 4C Framework. It works in the following three areas:
The goal of Onçafari Science is to monitor and research animal behavior in relation to the ecotourism activity, monitor the health of the animals protected by the project, in addition to understanding their behavior, physiology, and ecology to increase the scientific knowledge about their species and maximize their protection.
Onçafari Ecotourism works to habituate wild animals, such as jaguars and maned wolves, to the presence of our team’s vehicles. As the animals stop running away from our vehicles, researchers and visitors are no longer perceived as a threat, thus enabling the evolution of ecotourism in the region. Animal habituation does not mean domestication, but rather keeping them completely wild and free, without feeling threatened by the presence of vehicles.
Onçafari Rewild in partnership with Cenap (National Research Center for Carnivore Conservation) / ICMBio works to reintroduces Jaguars into the wild. An important tool to reestablish populations threatened with extinction.
Sally and Alice Travel Co. create tailor-made luxury safaris and holidays to Africa, the Indian Ocean and beyond. As people who are passionate about the world’s most remote and wild places, they care about their protection. The very act of setting up tourism operations in remote areas requires sustainable thinking and many of the places they are fortunate enough to visit and send their clients to wouldn’t be there without the work of conservationists.
Sally and Alice Travel Co. believe that people are at the heart of extraordinary experiences. Their preferred accommodation is boutique and owner-run as they find that the lodges and hotels that make every effort to have a positive impact on their local communities and environment almost always provide the best possible experience for their guests. That’s why Sally and Alice Travel Co. support The Long Run as an Affiliate Member.

Friends of Borneo was started in 2012 to support local communities in Borneo to find solutions for sustainable living. Many of these communities have lived what we would define as sustainable lifestyles but the emerging threats of lands lost due to industrial development in Borneo has meant these communities are increasingly forced to sustain themselves with much less natural resources to draw from.
Friends of Borneo is based in Toronto, Canada, where founder, Robert Hii currently resides. Past activities of the group have included supporting local land fights in Indonesian Borneo against land grabs, permaculture as a means of living off less land and conservation with the cultivation of fauna both with local communities and a demonstration project with the University of Muhammadiyah, Central Kalimantan.
Active projects as of November 2016 include a project in Central Kalimantan where we hope to have indigenous customary laws being formally adopted as a way to resolve the many land conflicts there. Focus area is in the highland areas of Sarawak state, Malaysian Borneo where we are working with local villages to develop eco tourism and medicinal herbs as sources of income.
Friends of Borneo believes that eco tourism can become an essential element in helping these communities to not only preserve their culture and traditional ways of living but will also enable them to progress. The cultivation of exotic Bornean herbs based on traditional knowledge and usage is to supplement income from tourism.

Bergplaas Nature Reserve is situated in the heart of the South African Karoo, in the Sneeuberg mountain range of the Eastern Cape. It is approximately 330 km northwest of Port Elizabeth, not far from the towns of Nieu Bethesda and Graaff Reinet.
This 12,355 acre reserve lies high above the ancient plains of the Camdeboo. Its altitude ranges from 1400m to 1800m and it serves as a key water catchment for the Karoo and the Eastern Cape.
Originally comprising three livestock farms, the internal fences and livestock were removed, and the wildlife that historically roamed this area was reintroduced. Today this wild semi-desert is home to a great diversity of flora and fauna. Bergplaas has a population of approximately 900 large mammals, including Eland, Kudu, Red Hartebeest, Plains Zebra, Springbuck and Black Wildebeest. There are also 133 bird species in the region, including the Secretary Bird, Black Harrier, Lanner Falcon and Blue Crane.

Sibylle Riedmiller, German-born Social Scientist, has spent all her professional life as a development worker in Latin America and Africa, where she managed, and provided consultancy services to, several education reform and natural resource management programs of UNESCO, the German Aid Agency GTZ and other donors.
In 1991, she left the aid industry and founded Chumbe Island Coral Park Ltd. (CHICOP), which turned formerly uninhabited Chumbe Island in Zanzibar/Tanzania into a private marine park and forest reserve. A Visitors’ Centre and Eco-lodge built with state-of the-art eco-technology provide funding for park management and environmental education programs for local schools and others. This has created one of the first private marine parks in the world that is now fully sustained with income from ecotourism. CHICOP was certified as a LRD in 2010.
A passionate marine conservationist, sailor and diver, Sibylle lives in Tanga/Tanzania since 1982, where she is now semi-retired, and spends most of her time working with international and local NGOs for improved marine governance in Tanzania.

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) was formed in 1991 by a group of Travel & Tourism CEOs who felt that the sector’s contribution to economies and job creation was not being recognised. Its objectives were to use empirical evidence to promote awareness of Travel & Tourism’s economic contribution; to expand markets in harmony with the environment; and to reduce barriers to growth.
WTTC is the only global body that brings together all major players in the Travel & Tourism sector (airlines, hotels, cruise, car rental, travel agencies, tour operators, GDS, and technology), enabling them to speak with One Voice to governments and international bodies. It is important that WTTC has the broadest geographical representation and includes all aspects of the sector, including organisations that provide vital services to Travel & Tourism.
WTTC works to raise awareness of Travel & Tourism as one of the world’s largest sectors, supporting 284 million jobs and generating 9.8% of global GDP. WTTC advocates partnership between the public and private sectors, delivering results that match the needs of economies, local and regional authorities, and local communities, with those of business, based on: Governments recognising Travel & Tourism as a top priority Business balancing economics with people, culture and environment A shared pursuit of long-term growth and prosperity.

HM Design is a unique one-of-a-kind planning and design firm which practices its very own quadruple bottom line philosophy – one that balances economic, environmental, social and spiritual aspects for every project.
HM Design believes that in this global age of heightened cultural and environmental sensitivity, the planning and design process needs to be holistic and sustainable in all aspects. In every project, HM Design tries to create an eco-plan or eco-design that has never been created before. Each plan and design is a response to the local context: physical, metaphysical and cultural. All HM Design projects have a respect for animals, plants, local people and the spirit of the place. The approach right from the outset is that of Low-impact development. This stewardship-motto of taking care of Mother Earth and all the species that inhabit on it begins right on day one and continues into Construction Supervision.
