Biosphere Expeditions is an award-winning, not-for-profit
organisation running wildlife expeditions for people wishing to do something
active and altruistic in conservation. It was founded in 1999 in the hope that
their conservation expeditions would make a small but significant difference to
our planet’s biosphere, while at the same time bringing enjoyment, fulfilment
and education to the Biosphere Expedition environment volunteer teams.
However, these
expeditions are not simply tours for eco-tourists or wildlife holidays for
those seeking a bit of adventure. The essential aim of Biosphere Expeditions is
to support and develop genuine wildlife projects by placing ordinary, yet
undeniably dedicated people in a position where they can work alongside leading
research scientists in the field.
As the ongoing
commitment and ultimate goal of Biosphere Expeditions is to make an active
contribution towards a truly sustainable biosphere, the expedition work is
centred on real biological conservation activity. So, they’re no holiday but
the hard work does come with an undeniable sense of satisfaction for the
wildlife volunteers who commit to worthy cause. These volunteers can rest
assured, safe in the knowledge that they not only had an exciting conservation
holiday but one with true purpose.
Spending a
productive time in the conservation of our global natural heritage is an
immensely rewarding experience. Such is Land Rover’s faith and commitment to
the ideals embodied by Biosphere Expeditions that the organisation became one
of Land Rover’s Global Environmental Sponsorship Partners in 2002.
As part of this
dedication, Land Rover provides vehicle support to Biosphere teams all over Our
Planet. This allows them
to tackle the most difficult terrain that our planet has to offer, in places
