o you want to help, right? You've been reading news on climate change, you've seen reports of bleached coral reefs, you know all about overfishing, and you're concerned about how cabinet appointments may affect
conservation efforts and our natural world. Well I'll tell you exactly what you can do next. The mission of SEVENSEAS is to bring travelers to the forefront of ocean conservation and to provide a resource for free, for anyone looking to get involved. Our New Year's resolution is to:
Travel more and make a difference while doing it.
In the following pages you'll hear some stories and see some available trips you can take that will positively impact animals and ecosystems. These trips are run by organizations that are dedicated to preserving the environment through the power of tourism, education, and private philanthropy. You can sign up to volunteer with scientists and conservationists from across the world, while getting close to some critical and fragile elements or wild Earth we are so desperately trying to protect.
Take a look, book a vacation that can make a difference and certainly leave you a changed person.
Please encourage friends, colleagues, and classmates to like and subscribe to free products and organizations like SEVENSEAS (www.sevenseastravelmagazine.com/subscribe).
