As part of our commitment to responsible tourism, in early 2005 we formed the 'Audley Charity Portfolio', which originally comprised five organisations we chose to actively support. This has now evolved into an initiative where we have selected charities which involve countries across our range of programmes. These charities are intended to help a wide variety of causes from wildlife, human rights issues and education, through to the environment and conservation.
British Columbia is home to the planet's last large expanse of coastal temperate rainforest. The forest's rugged beauty, tremendous biological diversity and vast unspoiled range set it apart as one of nature's great masterpieces. The temperate coniferous rainforest provides habitat for endangered and threatened species including salmon, wolves, eagles, and grizzly and Kermode bears.
The forest is also home to First Nations peoples whose spiritual and cultural life is tied to its health. Unfortunately, irresponsible development and the lack of protection for the forest have left these unique cultures and the entire ecosystem in grave danger.
Raincoast is a team of scientists and conservationists dedicated to furthering the protection of the marine and terrestrial ecosystems throughout British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest. Their ongoing research is essential to the protection and conservation of this unique and rugged land.
