In 2020, we began supporting the Andean Cat Alliance (AGA), a multinational network working across Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru to protect the most threatened feline in the Americas. AGA collaborates with local communities to reduce threats to Andean cat populations. We also organize a rewilding activity with the team in San Pedro de Atacama, where participants learn about their work and share experiences with local communities.

Our commitment to the environment drives us to encourage every traveler to follow Chile's Responsible Tourist Code of Conduct: valuing local traditions, supporting local economies, respecting the environment, and acting with care when visiting fragile sites. As wildlife watchers, we extend these same principles to the field—putting animal welfare first, conserving habitats, and respecting the rights of others. We seek experiences where wildlife can be observed behaving naturally, and we follow ethical guidelines specific to birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects.

Every minute, more than one million plastic bottles are sold worldwide, and each can take up to 450 years to biodegrade. Since 2014, we have eliminated single-use plastic bottles from our trips. Instead, we provide clean mineral water for refills and encourage travelers to bring reusable bottles. In this way, each guest becomes an active partner in conserving Chile's natural heritage.
Carbon removal means capturing CO₂ from the atmosphere and storing it safely for decades or centuries. While nature plays an essential role, today's levels require new solutions. With Tomorrow's Air, we support technologies such as direct air capture, enhanced weathering, and biochar, which lock carbon away permanently. We also offset unavoidable emissions through certified projects. In 2021–2022, our operations generated five United Nations Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), equivalent to five tons of CO₂.
