In previous posts about ecotourism, we’ve looked at some of the holiday options that you have if you want to limit your impact on the environment in order to help to combat climate change, and looked at holidays on which you can take part in volunteer work in order to make an active contribution to local communities and the environment.
Conservation holidays have become popular in recent years, but you don’t have to travel across the world in order to go on one. Responsible Travel, for example, is currently advertising nine and twelve day whale and dolphin conservation holidays in Scotland, which are ideal for anyone who wants to travel without flying.
As part of a field team on the research yacht, Silurian, you’ll help scientists to produce data in order to monitor whales, dolphins and porpoises off the west coast of Scotland, enabling scientists to work to ensure that these species are conserved for future generations to see. The price of the holiday includes your accommodation and food whilst you are on the yacht, as well as scientific and sailing training.
For more information about this holiday or to book a place, visit the Responsible Travel website.
