Urge global cruise line to boycott turtle cruelty



Cayman Turtle Centre: Island Wildlife Encounter (CTC) in the Cayman Islands is the only attraction in the world where tourists can handle farmed sea turtles.
Formerly known as Cayman Turtle Farm, the venue recently underwent a sleek, friendlier-looking rebrand. However, the centre still intensively breeds thousands of endangered green sea turtles and enables tourists to eat their meat.
The Cayman Turtle Centre is the last sea turtle farm known to breed sea turtles for human consumption. But there is no humane way to farm these wild animals.
Cruise company Carnival Cruise Lines sends tens of thousands of tourists directly to Cayman Turtle Centre every year. Many visitors are unaware of the cruelty that goes on at the attraction.
Please sign our petition to Carnival Cruise Lines now, and urge the company to take responsibility for these endangered wild animals.

TripAdvisor Inc. is profiting from wildlife exploitation



With its 2015 income reaching almost $1.5bn, TripAdvisor Inc.’s influence on the tourism industry is immense. But it is choosing to profit from the horrific abuse of wild animals in tourist entertainment rather than help protect them.
Our investigations reveal that TripAdvisor is profiting through the sale of tickets to venues that force wild animals to entertain tourists. It sells these tickets through Viator, a travel and tour booking company it acquired in 2014.
Last year The University of Oxford reviewed 188 wildlife venues featured on TripAdvisor and found that 75% of the different types of attractions involve wildlife cruelty. TripAdvisor’s Viator sells tickets for a number of these exact types of attractions. We have approached TripAdvisor on numerous occasions but they have been reluctant to work with us and are failing to take action to protect wild animals.

En el Parque Nacional Tayrona, santuario de naturaleza de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta se planifica la construcción de un hotel de 7 estrellas de nombre Six Senses -Seis Sentidos- para multimillonarios. Los indígenas se oponen pues no ven ni seis, ni un sentido al proyecto hotelero de lujo en su territorio. Pedimos al gobierno que detenga hoy mismo el proyecto.
