Earlier this year, I took team of climbers, ranging from impact investors to CEO’s on the @projectcchange Mount Kilimanjaro Charity Climb in a bid to raise awareness and funds for biodiversity protection.

What was supposed to be a smooth ascent in Tanzania's DRY season ended up being a battle up the mountain through record rainfall and hail, which almost cost us the chance to summit...There is no doubt in my mind that this record rainfall is linked to muan-made climate change, linked to warmer than usual Indian Ocean and one of the hottest winters Antartica has ever experienced..

Putting yourself at the mercy of nature reminds you that most things in the natural world are out of your control... but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't come prepared. Our gear from @Tumitravel's recycled capsule collection proved to not only be durable enough to brave Kili's harshest conditions, but also kept in line with our expedition's core principles - all bags from this collection uses recycled materials that would otherwise end up in landfill..

FUNDRAISING : We’re also re-starting our fundraising campaign to raise 100k USD for wildlife conservancies in Africa. The Covid-19 pandemic has been a tragedy for the human world, but it has also been a crisis for wildlife. Due to the unprecedented global lockdowns, conservancies in Africa have been financially devastated as funds have dried up due to the lack of tourism, the largest source of income for conservation and anti-poaching initiatives. Wildlife needs YOUR help more than ever before.

We’ve already raised 43K USD for The Nature Conservancy but paused our fundraising campaign due to the onset of the pandemic. But we now want to relaunch and reach our 100k USD! Please find the donation link below.
