The Power of 1%<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Creating unique travel experiences and unforgettable memories often comes at the expense of the planet or local communities.<\/p>\n

The Butterfly Foundation aims to show that you can use 'travel' as a tool against the climate crisis and to leave an even more positive impact<\/strong> on people and the environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just like a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a whirlwind on the other side of the globe, small \u2013 often invisible \u2013 positive changes can consistently lead to a huge positive impact in the long run. That\u2019s the power of The Butterfly Effect<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Elephant in the Room<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 2023, 1.3 billion people traveled to all corners of the world, and the demand for increasingly remote, deeper off-the-beaten-path<\/em> travel is growing year by year. Travel is inherently linked to high CO\u2082 emissions and a significant impact on local ecosystems and social communities.<\/p>\n

With the massive footprint of the travel industry<\/strong> in mind, there\u2019s still a long way to go. Making the industry 100% accountable is a monumental task, but the journey towards positive change is more important than the destination.<\/p>\n

As a group of travel enthusiasts, we want to show that we \u2013 despite all our imperfections \u2013 recognize where our negative impact lies and where our societal and social responsibilities are. And when we dare to take on those responsibilities, you quickly notice that their effect \u2013 on any scale \u2013 is consistently positive and progressive. Small actions build on each other<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
