Conservation

The PureTravel Blog is a supporter of front line conservation and 50% of its profits go towards the running costs of Explorers Against Extinction, UK charity 1177505, who campaign against species extinction and habitat loss Worldwide.

In their own words:

Explorers Against Extinction is a UK-based conservation charity dedicated to safeguarding endangered species and restoring ecosystems worldwide. Registered under charity number 1177505, the organization collaborates with frontline conservation partners across more than 30 countries, focusing on species protection, habitat restoration, and community empowerment. ​

Mission and Approach

The charity’s mission encompasses combating the illegal wildlife trade, promoting human-wildlife coexistence, restoring habitats, supporting scientific research, empowering communities, and facilitating the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife. Rather than contributing to general funds, Explorers Against Extinction supports specific, time-sensitive projects that align with their conservation goals. ​

Notable Projects

Project Red Panda (Nepal): This initiative focuses on the conservation of red pandas through habitat protection and community engagement.

The Giant Otter Project (Brazil): Aimed at preserving the endangered giant otter, this project supports research and conservation efforts in the Amazon basin. ​

Kordofan Conservation (Chad): This project works to protect the Kordofan giraffe, one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies, through anti-poaching measures and habitat conservation. ​

Manta Ray Research (Indian Ocean): Supporting scientific research on manta rays, this initiative aims to inform conservation strategies and promote marine biodiversity. ​

Garamba National Park (DRC): In collaboration with local authorities, this project enhances anti-poaching efforts and supports wildlife monitoring in one of Africa’s oldest national parks. ​

Fundraising and Awareness Initiatives

Sketch for Survival: An annual art initiative where artists worldwide contribute artworks depicting threatened species or wild spaces. Selected pieces are exhibited and auctioned, with proceeds supporting conservation projects. ​

Stories for Survival: A creative writing competition that encourages storytelling to raise awareness about conservation issues. The 2025 theme, “The Turning Point,” invites diverse narratives highlighting the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world. ​

Charity Challenges: The organization offers various fundraising challenges, including treks and endurance events, allowing participants to support conservation efforts actively. Notable challenges include the Everest Base Camp trek and the Ultra Challenge series across the UK. ​

Impact and Recognition

Explorers Against Extinction has garnered support from renowned explorers like Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Colonel John Blashford-Snell. Through its targeted projects and engaging initiatives, the charity continues to make significant strides in global conservation efforts.​
