Sustainability Efforts

Awasi is carbon neutral: Preserving the three corners of South America where their lodges are located has always been of utmost importance. Awasi protects and conserves over 340 hectares (840 acres) of virgin forest and native woodland in Iguazú and Patagonia. These forest areas, preserved and maintained by their team, absorb over 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. This total is a greater amount than the emissions generated by our three lodges, as well as the airline and transfer travel undertaken by employees and guests.

Awasi and Relais & Chateaux: Relais & Châteaux and Slow Food have created an annual Food for Change campaign to protect local biodiversity and culinary heritage.  Awasi works on different programs each year,  using seasonal, locally produced ingredients, for example grown within a 50km radius of each property, reducing the amount of meat on the menu; creating more vegetarian dishes; supporting the rearing of local, heritage breeds, and indicating the breed and producers on the menu; for seafood, ensuring it has been sustainably and ethically sourced … and more!

Rewilding Argentina Foundation: Rewilding offers the possibility of becoming part of their projects of ecosystem restoration by discovering and experiencing the Iberá. Iberá is the second largest wetland of South America, with an extension of 12.000 km2 that guards both great biodiversity and a rich cultural heritage. The region emerges as a combination of different landscapes: in the lowest areas, the rain deposits its water in the wetlands and ponds that gave it its name; while the higher areas are characterized by small remnants of Paranaense Jungles, Palm Groves and never-ending Grasslands briefly interrupted by small bundles of trees. The Iberá Wetlands are home to more than 4.000 animals and plant species. It is an excellent location for bird watching, and visitors have the possibility of observing a wide array of native species like the Yellow Cardinal (Gubernatrix cristata) and the Strange-Tailed Tyrant (Alectrurus risora), among others. Rewilding Experience started from The Conservation Land Trust, a social company that reinvests its profits to help conservation and ecological restoration projects, which the Rewilding Argentina Foundation carries out following the legacy of Douglas and Kristine Tompkins. 

This organization is dedicated to the creation of protected areas and completed ecosystems to ensure the perpetuity of their ecological and evolutionary processes with the strongest long-term protection guarantee possible. It also supports programs that aim to ensure wildlife protection, the reintroduction of locally extinct species, land restoration, and local development, usually involving ecotourism, sustainable farming and environmental education. CLT worked on the restoration of ecosystems of all of acquired lands since 1999, bringing back extinct species looking out this way to have a completed ecosystem which seek to include man with their own local culture revaluing their ancestral traditions. 

The landscape was slowly restored throughout the years, removing the traces left by livestock farming activities and prioritizing indigenous plants, and thus allowing the native wildlife to find its natural place once more. Gradually, the Giant Anteater started coming back and its population began to grow, and the situation was the same in the case of the Pampas Deer, and the Collared Peccary. Fortunately, we are thrilled to announce that the list also includes the Jaguar, which started roaming the lands recently. Meeting with the more frequent characters that can be easily seen today like Alligators, Capybaras, Marsh Deers, Black Howler Monkeys, and hundreds of bird species can make an unique experience; and whether it be by its tracks or by its sound, the Aguará Guazú, which will somehow appear and say “welcome!”. Rewilding Experience understands that tourism is vital to the sustainability of the protected areas where we have visitor that come and discover them generating jobs and local development to the near community. Rewilding offers the possibility of visiting the different landscapes of Iberá through experiences in close contact with nature made all the more spectacular by being in connection with the environment. Staying at one of the properties is a way for guests to become part of the fauna restoration projects that Rewilding Argentina has started and continues to execute to this day with great success; all the while experiencing the local culture and remaining in close contact with nature.
