WE GROW COMMUNITY TOURISM
Protecting and restoring nature. Strengthening livelihoods. Enhancing resilience.
Planeterra brings communities, travel companies, and conservation experts together to build tourism that protects and restores nature while uplifting the people who depend on it.
Planeterra Grow is our response to the Climate and Biodiversity crisis, delivering practical nature positive approaches that uplift communities, places and the planet.
We uplift communities to develop solutions that protect and restore nature while strengthening livelihoods and enhancing resilience to the impacts of climate change. We grow trees that benefit communities, restore ecosystems, and create experiences that support conservation objectives. Because when communities and Nature thrive together, tourism can thrive too.
HOW WE GROW
Grow Knowledge
Helping enterprises to understand and manage their environmental impacts, while building tools and skills to improve their positive impacts on Nature.
Grow Solutions
Enabling communities to access expertise, funding and resources to craft solutions that fit their own climate and biodiversity related priorities.
Grow Experiences
Turning Nature Positive Community Tourism approaches into market-ready tourism experiences travel companies can build into their itineraries.
Grow Seeds
Community-led restoration e.g. Trees, mangroves, coral reefs, clean cookstoves, renewable energy, biochar, and more, brought together under one idea: potential, growth, and regeneration.
From solutions to experiences
Nature-positive Community Tourism is already taking shape in destinations around the world.

Travellers learn about the installation of clean cookstoves while contributing to a revenue-generating model that supports the initiative.

Growing Toward 2030
By 2030, we want Planeterra recognized for demonstrating what practical Nature-Positive Community Tourism approaches looks like in action, growing a planet-wide network of communities, travel companies, and specialist organizations advancing practical climate action, biodiversity protection and restoration, and equitable economic growth through tourism.
