| Why Do You Go? |
BECAUSE THE GLOBAL 200 ECOREGIONS NEED US |
 |
Why We Go. WWF takes a strategic approach to saving nature - that’s why they set out to rank the earth’s most biologically outstanding terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats, based on the best possible scientific data. The result was the identification of the Global 200 Ecoregions – 238 regions across the world where conservation is most critical, and where our work will yield the greatest payoffs. Canada is home to nine of the Global 200 Ecoregions, clustered mainly in the marine waters of Atlantic Canada, coastal British Columbia, and the boreal forest of the North, especially the Mackenzie River Basin. That’s where you’ll find WWF-Canada working and our Wildlife & Wild Places trips travelling. You’ll also find us in Cuba’s four Global 200 Ecoregions. Because of a 20-year history of collaboration to protect Cuba's biodiversity, coupled with the strong diplomatic ties between our two countries, WWF-Canada takes the lead in Cuba on behalf of WWF International. | |

Made to Measure Travel
Taking one of our Made to Measure trips is like going to a bespoke tailor on Jermyn street. The best tailoring springs from a relationship of intimacy and trust between the client and the tailor (not surprisingly, given that you will be asked to stand naked before us). The first stage of building this relationship is a get-to-know-you consultation with our personal travel planners, and once we have ascertained that what you want is within our competency, we start to delve deeper. We use a detailed questionnaire as a tool to distil the essential elements, and then we begin a dialogue to understand the motivations that lie behind the answers. The process is dynamic, and often requires multiple fittings, but the end result is a genuine understanding of who you are and what you are seeking.
