As someone who reviews numerous travel stories daily, one recent partnership really grabbed my attention. Imagine a world where the rail tracks you ride on not only take you to your destination but also serve as guardians of nature's treasures. I'm very happy to share an article I've put together about a remarkable collaboration between London North Eastern Railway - LNER - and the Findhorn Watershed Initiative - the Findhorn, Nairn, and Lossie Rivers Trust that's breathing new life into the ecosystem of the River Findhorn. In a landscape where declining salmon numbers signal environmental distress, this partnership is a beacon of hope. Through their combined efforts, they're not just combating ecological challenges but also fostering community engagement for a sustainable future. What's most inspiring is how this initiative underscores the potential for travel companies to be stewards of the environment. It's a testament to the power of purpose-driven partnerships and the profound impact they can have on our planet. In the article, there are comments from Bob Laughton of the Trust and LNER's Rachael Wilson and a link to a video, in which Laughton and Ellie Adams; researchers in residence Mairi McFadyen and Raghnaid Sandilands; and volunteers Campbell Ross and Louise Ramsay share what they are doing and why it's important. Rail companies, like LNER, can make meaningful contributions to conservation efforts. From revitalising ecosystems to promoting community involvement, there's much we can learn from their innovative approach. This article opens the door on an important programme undertaken by a travel provider and the community it serves and looks to enhance. If you travel frequently by train, maybe this is a good time to discover how your journey can leave a positive imprint on the world around you.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲. RSPN Bhutan in partnership with supporters from Japan and the Athang Institute, is currently conducting a comprehensive project scoping study within the White-bellied Heron landscape. The primary objectives of this study include delineating the project boundary, conducting an assessment of community needs and available natural capital, evaluating the technical, economic, and logistical feasibility of the project, and assessing the capacity of institutions and communities to implement and sustain the project. The joint team comprises experts with diverse backgrounds in conservation, ecotourism, climate change, and environmental education. This scoping study holds significant importance within the project design framework of the Royal Society for Protection of Nature, aligning with existing Environmental and Social safeguards policies. With over three decades of experience in implementing conservation and community projects, RSPN has positively impacted numerous communities through the establishment of sustainable development activities. Rigorous evaluation under the robust safeguard systems of RSPN ensures that projects are well defined, feasible, and effective. Building upon the information gathered from this scoping study, further review and situation analysis will be conducted to progress towards developing a comprehensive proposal. RSPN aims to innovate this project by integrating a private partnership model encompassing conservation efforts, sustainable livelihood activities, climate change initiatives, and other thematic areas. 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 WBH is critically endangered in the verge of extinction. It is found distributed only in freshwater river of Himalaya. The current distribution is restricted to only three South Asian countries, Bhutan, Northeast India and Myanmar with estimated population of less than 60 individuals. Given its critical status, the preservation of the White-bellied Heron holds paramount importance. The habitats of the White-bellied Heron are also home to numerous remotely located communities that rely on shared resources. Therefore, garnering community support is imperative. A community-driven conservation project within the White-bellied Heron landscape is not only feasible but also essential for the preservation of this species and the sustainability of the surrounding ecosystems.

World Nature Conservation Day, celebrated annually on July 28th, underscores the importance of protecting our planet’s natural resources and biodiversity. This global observance highlights the necessity of sustainable practices to ensure a healthy environment and society. At The Long Run, we are dedicated to sustainable tourism, focusing on the 4Cs: Conservation, Community, Culture, and Commerce. Among our members, those recognised as Global Ecosphere Retreats® (GER) stand out for their exceptional commitment to sustainability and conservation. Here are three notable GER members addressing critical conservation issues: 1. Climate Change: Caiman, Pantanal, Brazil: Caiman combats climate change by combining ecotourism with traditional cattle ranching. Their sustainable land management and conservation initiatives, including the RPPN Dona Aracy reserve, protect diverse habitats and promote ecosystem health. 2. Deforestation: Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, South Africa: Grootbos is a verified Carbon Neutral Destination, now acting as a carbon sink. Their reforestation projects, with over a million indigenous plants, provide jobs and training for local communities, effectively addressing deforestation. 3. Endangered Species: Borana Lodge, Kenya: Leading in habitat restoration and species protection, Borana has successfully reintroduced black rhinos. Their efforts also extend to community engagement through education and healthcare programs. These members exemplify our mission to promote sustainable tourism while preserving vital ecosystems and supporting local communities. Join us in celebrating their efforts and advocating for a sustainable future.
