About LimosaResponsible TourismWe do our best to operate our tours in an environmentally responsible manner - not just by our behaviour and actions in the field, but by utilising conservation-minded local agents as well as local services such as guides, eco-lodges and restaurants in the places we visit. We absolutely forbid the collecting of specimens on any of our tours, including the picking of wildflowers. Please remember - take the book to the plant, not the plant to the book! Our tours often take place in countries where the whole idea of conservation is in its infancy and we must take care to be seen to act responsibly, especially by local people. We do our utmost not to disturb the birds and other wildlife that we take groups to see in the field, and try to minimise the use of tapes. We believe tourism has a vital role to play in supporting local peoples, as well as fostering a positive and enlightened attitude towards wildlife and the environment. Indeed, tourism can be a major factor in saving an area from harm or destruction by damaging forestry, industrial or agricultural practices. In the same way, we believe that our tours to countries such as Iceland and Cyprus - where we are vehemently opposed to whaling and the slaughter of wild birds respectively - serve to promote the cause of conservation such that these practices may eventually be stopped. Our Commitment to Conservation
