    1.   Waste Reduction
    2.   Green Purchase
    3.   Sustainable Development
    4.   Photography and Wildlife interaction

    Waste Reduction
    		• Decomposable waste - In the absence of the structured toilets in our retreats or camps, proper toilet locations are demarcated at each campsite and human waste buried in soil pits. Leftover foods are carried back and reused for other trips or if perishable then they are donated at local food bank or left for the animals to consume.
    		• Non-decomposable but combustible waste - Items like packing materials consisting of cardboard boxes and paper bags are bought back from the campsites and if this is not possible it will be burnt at the campsites.
    		• Non-decomposable and non-combustible waste - Wastes like plastic bags, aluminum foils, glass bottles are as far as possible avoided or are carried back to the city where they are either recycled, destroyed or buried in garbage dumps.

    Green Purchase
    		• As far as possible we buy in bulk, thus reducing packaging. We try to utilise reusable containers to pack food while on trips and try to make our purchases from suppliers who minimize packaging or do not use them in the first place.

    Sustainable Development
    We try to ensure that there are minimum negative impacts on the local environment/communities in which we operate
    		• Local guides are employed in all trips and they work hand-in-hand with other guides from outside the local area.
    		• Participants are encouraged to try local cuisine at least once in a trip
    		• Participants are requested to attend a pre-trip orientation meeting where they are introduced to the culture and the environment of their place of visit.
    		• We purchase food locally for our operations whenever possible.
    		• There is a limit on the maximum number of clients that is compatible with the environmental sensitivity of the area visited.
    		• Accommodations in the local town are selected keeping the retreat/hotel's local ownership and environmental sensitivity in mind. These places operate with minimum impact on the environment and provide specific benefits to the community.

    Photography and Wildlife interaction
    		• We encourage wild life photography and viewing as long as it does not disturb the flora and fauna. However, personal interaction with the wild life is discouraged.
