Ethics

At Terra Incognita we support tours that do good in the world. They must help conserve the environment, support local people and provide educational opportunities for guests and staff, or be actively working to improve in these areas.

What conservation activities do you support through the tour, and your wider operations?

ALL places we stay are locally owned and benefit the people – the majority of places we stay are within protected areas and us staying there helps to directly contribute to conservation. We pay into the Protected Areas Conservation Trust and the Forest User Fee goes to funding monitoring to keep protection of the protected areas legitimate.

We source sustainable food whenever possible, from locally caught fish (caught within the protocols of sustainability i.e. fished by Indigenous people and using single lines without boats instead of nets) to locally produced vegetables.

We also engage in conservation discussions, hands-on demonstrations, up-close looks at reduced impact logging sites and aim for guests to leave with a better understanding of conservation and sustainability to then apply it to their daily lives back home.

How does the tour support local people?

ALL tours taken, places we stay in and food we consume is locally owned and/or operated.

What type of environmental education activities do you incorporate into your tour?

Tropical forest ecology education, fish identification and marine conservation education, a focus on wider sustainability issues such as plastic consumption and energy, and a species identification list which has proven to be a great way to stay engaged and really bring back the purpose and meaning of the trips.

About Company

TREE’s mission is simple: Conservation Through Exploration.

We specialize in three things. First and foremost we take people into the heart of tropical rainforest ecosystems. Second, we immerse in the cultures of Belize, Guyana, and Jamaica. Lastly, we promote conservation and sustainable living through experiential education and supporting local protected areas. In order to get the most out of these experiences we constantly push individuals to step outside of their comfort zone and embrace the area beyond, a place we refer to as the “magic zone.”

If you are able step outside of that familiar comfort zone amazing experiences await – experiences that cannot happen unless you make the conscious effort to get uncomfortable. Contrary to how it sounds, being uncomfortable will actually lead to a more enjoyable trip – and might possibly make your TREE expedition a defining event in your life. While accommodations themselves are quite comfortable, our approach to the forest will still prepare you to be able to sleep on any surface, sit near any giant insect, hike through any terrain, deal with any heat or humidity, and truly enjoy yourself in the forest. If you are able to get to this level then you will also be able to experience the true ecosystems and cultures of whichever CARICOM nation you are in.

With deep exposure to both the natural environments and cultures of these countries, and informal discussions led by TREE staff, you will gain experiential knowledge without the need for a formal setting. The forest becomes a classroom. Cultural activities become recess. And you leave with a better understanding of the challenges and the best paths forward for conservation and sustainability.

If that occurs, mission completed.
