Women in the Wild

Women Are Champions of Conservation
Nat Hab’s Women in the Wild series showcases the critical role women play in conservation. Studies show women are disproportionately affected by biodiversity loss and climate change, which creates challenges with accessing water and vital resources in affected regions. Nat Hab trips provide essential support for community-based conservation projects that combat these issues and generate economic empowerment for local communities.
“The impact of bringing women together to intimately witness the natural world spurs a ripple effect for active and meaningful discourse and change,” says Haas. “This communion is at the core of our brand ethos and our larger mission of fostering environmental activists, conservationists, and changemakers.”
Women in the Wild trips are available to book now for 2024 and 2025. Visit our website to view all of our Women in the Wild trips and check out our blog to read inspiring stories from our female guests, guides and writers.
