Keycamp

Keycamp is one of Cool Earth's leading partners and is helping to protect 580 acres of tropical forest.

Keycamp is offering customers the opportunity to donate £6 per flight booking, £2 per self-drive booking and £1 per rail booking, with donations being used to protect endangered tropical forest.

Keycamp's commitment to rainforest protection is already making a huge difference to the lives of local communities and security of the trees in the Ashaninka, Peru.

Keycamp's Dave McKenna comments: "We are very impressed with Cool Earth's offering and working together with them is part of our wider Five Year Eco-Conscious Plan, which sees us strive to make larger, more long term changes that decrease our impact on the environment."

"Work is already well underway.  Indeed as well as offering our customers the option to donate to Cool Earth, we're looking at initiatives such as introducing greener commuting for our staff, using more environmentally friendly materials in the manufacture of our accommodation and travel packs and reducing our energy consumption, to name but a few."

"We've also been awarded FSC Certification and the AITO Responsible Tourism Three Star Award, which stands as a testament to our achievements so far. Pluse we are constantly implementing new schemes to enhance our waste management and recycling strategies."

Every acre of mature rainforest that Keycamp secures keeps 260 tonnes of carbon dioxide where it belongs. This means Keycamp‘s sponsorship is protecting around 2,400 mature trees, 1,800 saplings, 4 endangered species of mammal, 322 types of plant and over 11,000 species of insect and worm.

The sponsorship also includes purchasing classroom equipment, solar powered internet, and working alongside the Ashaninka to ensure they are properly compensated for protecting a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem.
