Green Tourism Certification

Our sustainable tourism certification program has certified 45 local businesses, resulting in a 25% reduction in water usage and a 35% reduction in energy consumption across participating accommodations and tour operators.

Mountain Reforestation

Our reforestation project in the Sierra Mountains has planted 25,000 native trees over three years, restoring 120 acres of forest habitat. Wildlife monitoring has shown a 40% increase in bird species diversity in the restored areas.
