A Day With The Wolves by Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole The resort is charging 16 thousand dollars per all-inclusive trip, allowing for up to eight travelers. The charge covers transfer from the hotel, transportation via private plane, a luxury vehicle for transportation within the park, naturalist guides and cuisine. Also covered in the charge is a donation to local conservation groups and carbon offsets. This ensures a circular ecotourism model is utilized, and the natural space being explored is nurtured through interaction, rather than exploitation. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="465"] Offering the luxury of exclusive dining in the wild alongside the exhilaration of winter expeditions, Four Seasons is giving travelers a new taste of Yellowstone.

The highlight of the trip is set to be the wolves. Yellowstone’s gray wolf population is especially elusive, as the pack has overcome immense challenges. Back in 1926, the last native wolf was killed in the park due to the current perceptions of the time concerning predatorial animals. In 1933, the government ended sanctioned predator killings, but it was not until 1973 that the Endangered Species Act was signed and the wolves were protected. It has been a long journey for the animals since then, as conservationists worked to reintroduce the apex predators back into the park’s ecosystem. Since the late 1990s, it has been a project with both ups and downs. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="465"] The wolves were completely wiped out in the last century, when people had yet to understand the importance of apex animals. Image courtesy of Four Seasons[/caption] Yellowstone remains one of the few places in the world where wolves run wild. Wolf encounters such as these offer awareness of the animals’ place in the habitat, taking away the mysterious scare factor that so often dominates narratives concerning the species. "Yellowstone Wolf Project’s mission is to oversee research and monitoring of wolves in Yellowstone," Mr. Carlson said. "Funds to EDF will act as a carbon-neutral initiative, providing solutions for reducing the effects of pollution and climate change on the planet," he said. "Additionally, EDF supported the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, which has been called '

People for Wildlife 2023 | LOUIS VUITTON The company cites the educational appeal of the project, as it will provide further insight into the world of equitable and sustainable materials sourcing. Working with Dr. Natusch, Louis Vuitton is set to not only fund vital research and the preservation of biodiversity, but to attain scientifically backed methods to responsibly source raw materials. “We need to be using natural resources,” Dr. Natusch said. “The key is to do it in a sustainable way, to ensure that it’s responsible and we can continue to that use indefinitely.” The work will also help the company meet its goal of lessening Louis Vuitton’s carbon footprint by 55 percent in time for 2030, as outlined by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Louis Vuitton’s funding supports some of the most biodiverse lands on the planet. Filled with forests, water-dominated ecosystems and wild coastlines, the research and stewardship being done help monitor biodiversity loss, and will hopefully provide answers for reversing it. People for Wildlife focuses on many biodiversity conservation projects that further social welfare, as sociologists, ecologists, communications professionals and economists work together in this calling. This partnership with Louis Vuitton is no different.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Louis Vuitton (@louisvuitton) In the past however, environmental work has not always been done fairly. Tree planting efforts have been done on indigenous land without the consent of the people, National Parks have been created by kicking out those who lived on the land for a millennia, and “Not in my backyard” efforts have saved the environmental integrity of white neighborhoods at the expense of Black neighborhoods, inheriting the rejected hazards (such as factories or oil plants). After a long history of white-washed and uninclusive conservation efforts, the work being done in Australia seeks to integrate the voices of those who live locally. The community-focused approach to this kind of work is a deeply important part of intersectional environmentalism, as the field considers people to be worth just as much consideration as other animals. Louis Vuitton and People for Wildlife operate with this mindset, as the charity incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) into the work being done. This honors the invaluable environmental insights held by indigenous people, as well as offer sustainable means of employment to the population.

Perpetual Planet Since 2019, Rolex has been embracing that changing landscape of exploration through its Perpetual Planet initiative, supporting the work of exploring conservationists. Part of this project involves the work of Rolex Awards for Enterprise winners, who work to protect the livability of the planet and the welfare of people. Rolex is also working with the National Geographic Society, collecting data in the fight against climate change. Dr. Boyes is a National Geographic Explorer, leading one of the Great Spine of Africa expeditions along over 500 miles of the Lungwevungu River. The river is a tributary water source of the Zambezi River, which is vital to 20 million people and an inordinate amount of plants and animals, supporting Angola, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The Great Spine of Africa Expeditions: Lungwevungu River – Ep. 2 Traversing the highlands of Angola to the border of Zambia, the team is collecting measurements and data on their journey. With his Rolex watch and team in tow, he is floating in dug-out “mekoro” canoes and camping along the river, documenting the data. “It’s almost biblical,” said Dr. Boyes in a statement. “During the day you are constantly stung, and at night beetles, flying ants and moths fill the air,” he said. “It’s a very difficult place to do science, to live, to do anything.” Despite its importance, much of the Zambezi’s tributaries and life cycles is a mystery to scientists, making this expedition key in building local climate resilience. Being the birthplace of the Zambezi, the Lungwevungu is a key point in these conservation efforts. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="465"] Dr. Boyes takes measurements along the river, wearing his water-resistant watch. Image credit: Rolex[/caption] The other expeditions taking place in the Spine of Africa will explore the Congo, Niger and Nile rivers– all just as important to 400 million Africans. Like this Lungwevungu expedition, much of the data collected is being sourced from places never studied by scientists before. “If it’s measurable, we are absolutely going to measure it,” said Dr. Boyes in a statement. “It is incredibly important for us to be able to measure change over time, to be able to pick up limits of acceptable change, then take those to the government and say that we need to change policy.” Nature of luxury Rolex is not alone in this undertaking of scientific exploration. De Beers recently supported National Geographic’s conservation efforts in the Okavango Delta ( see story ).
