The Power of 1%<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Creating unique travel experiences and unforgettable memories often comes at the expense of the planet or local communities.<\/p>\n

The Butterfly Foundation aims to show that you can use 'travel' as a tool against the climate crisis and to leave an even more positive impact<\/strong> on people and the environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just like a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a whirlwind on the other side of the globe, small \u2013 often invisible \u2013 positive changes can consistently lead to a huge positive impact in the long run. That\u2019s the power of The Butterfly Effect<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Elephant in the Room<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 2023, 1.3 billion people traveled to all corners of the world, and the demand for increasingly remote, deeper off-the-beaten-path<\/em> travel is growing year by year. Travel is inherently linked to high CO\u2082 emissions and a significant impact on local ecosystems and social communities.<\/p>\n

With the massive footprint of the travel industry<\/strong> in mind, there\u2019s still a long way to go. Making the industry 100% accountable is a monumental task, but the journey towards positive change is more important than the destination.<\/p>\n

As a group of travel enthusiasts, we want to show that we \u2013 despite all our imperfections \u2013 recognize where our negative impact lies and where our societal and social responsibilities are. And when we dare to take on those responsibilities, you quickly notice that their effect \u2013 on any scale \u2013 is consistently positive and progressive. Small actions build on each other<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

History<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Butterfly Foundation was established in 2024 by Travelbase<\/a>, a rapidly growing organization with over 20 unique travel brands and communities, specializing in nature and adventure travel. As a travel organization, reducing ecological impact requires more than good intentions \u2013 it calls for concrete action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Currently, Travelbase is responsible for the majority of the funding for the Butterfly Foundation. Travelbase donates 1% of the revenue<\/strong> from its financially healthy business units to the Butterfly Foundation<\/strong>. So, when you book a trip with Travelbase, you\u2019re also supporting the Butterfly Foundation, which allocates these funds to non-profit organizations linked to your travel destination. This way, while exploring the world, you also contribute to a more sustainable travel sector.<\/p>\n

In addition to contributions from Travelbase, the Butterfly Foundation also relies on one-time donations and monthly supporters \u2013 our BFFs (Butterfly Friends<\/em>) \u2013 who help create lasting and meaningful change.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
