Building sustainability in the rainforest

Many people mistake sustainability as simply conservation of the rainforest, but true sustainability strives for economic, social and environmental continuity as a holistic effort. This is the ethos that drives what we do and why we exist.
How do we do it?

	By developing strategic, proactive and ecologically sound programmes Tourism can have a damaging effect on the environment and communities involved. However, all of our eco-tours, expeditions and volunteering programmes have been strategically developed to support community projects, educate participants on sustainability efforts, offset carbon emissions, and contribute to scientific research being conducted by The CREES Foundation.

	By managing and developing sustainable eco-friendly facilities All of our lodges and research facilities are designed, built and run using sustainable practices. The Manu Learning Centre, a multi-use facility that provides accommodation and space for research, was built with environmental impact minimisation and engages in sustainable resource management. Refugio Romero is a proposed luxury boutique lodge within the Manu National Park that will utilise the most advanced sustainable building practices available.

	By being leaders in logistics and operations of educational programmes CREES Expeditions provides top quality administrative and logistical services for all sustainable research and educational efforts. These include the field courses, research projects and community programmes originating from The CREES Foundation and other partner organisations.
