At Exodus, we are dedicated to sustainable and responsible travel. Our People, Places & Planet plan lays out the ways in which we persistently and passionately seek to improve life through travel — for the places we visit, people we meet, and the planet we explore. This includes taking a nature positive approach which focuses on our adventures giving back more to our planet and its ecosystems than they take. Some of our projects include working with scientists to build an eBioAtlas to restore biodiversity, rewilding 100 square meters of land for every one of our passengers, and offering grants that support people and projects that advance our global understanding of the social and natural world through cultural, scientific, and conservation fieldwork.
