Friends of Conservation

You too can help, by ‘offsetting’ the harmful emissions of your flight!

Simpson Travel is pleased to support Friends of Conservation (FOC). Founded in 1982 to help prevent wildlife and habitat degradation in East Africa, FOC has expanded to cover projects around the world, including not only wildlife, but also the local communities whose lives are entwined with the wildlife and habitats they work to protect.

It is generally acknowledged that human activity, including travel, is leading to “global warming”. The dramatic release of carbon from burning fossil fuels and from clearing vegetation has led to a 31% increase in concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide compared to pre-industrial concentration.

Flying is the most carbon intensive way to travel. Aviation at present accounts for 3% of greenhouse gases and generates nearly as much carbon dioxide in one year as the total population of Africa. Moreover air travel is growing faster than any other form of transport.

Donate Now – Equalise Your Carbon Emissions If you would like to help “offset” some of the effects of your journey then you can do so by supporting FOC projects that either extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or reduce harmful emissions entering the atmosphere. Please visit www.foc-uk.com to see how to donate and become a member, or telephone 020 7603 5024. The carbon offset schemes can be found on their website under: www.foc-uk.com/carbonoffsetprojects.asp
