In search of more sustainability in tourism, we are going on a virtual journey around the world this year. We will stop on five continents and present a local project.

Only One Earth! World Environment Day on 5 June calls for committed action. The environment and sustainability are important to you, too: you separate waste, buy local and plastic-free whenever possible, cycle and wear second-hand clothes? But you are not quite sure how sustainability can also be lived on holiday and while travelling without sacrificing fun and experience? Sustainable travel is not rocket science! We have simple tips for you!

Production, distribution, and planting of fruit trees for a better future

We are delighted to announce a new Climate Fund project to combat poverty and hunger while mitigating the impact of climate change. It will be implemented by our partner organisation (C-member) 2ADIB-MALI Amis de la Nature, which has been implementing projects that fight poverty and malnutrition and ensure environmental sustainability and education in Mali for almost 20 years. The aim of the project is to establish a commercial nursery to produce fruit tree seedlings.

Today, on World Tourism Day, respect_NFI | Naturefriends International renews its long-standing call for a trend reversal in tourism – towards responsible tourism that focuses on people and our planet.
