In Conversation With: Conserving Carpathia

field report C&B Promberger3

In a rewarding conversation between Isabella Tree and Christoph and Barbara Promberger, founders of Conservation Carpathia, we learnt gained an insight into the work of restoring the southern Carpathians – here we share our key learnings.

My JWP experience was wild, literally as well as metaphorically. Riding through wildflower meadows, climbing through virgin forests, feasting on delicious locally sourced organic treats in ancient oak pastures with some of the most knowledgeable and experienced conservationists in the world, was an other-worldly memory I will always treasure.

Norway was a once in a lifetime adventure...The guides and hosts were so committed to sustainability and it was inspiring to spend time with them. This was a truly authentic trip where we experienced once-in-a-lifetime activities. King crab fishing, northern lights, reindeer sanctuary, dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice hotel and incredible food. This was a trip we will never forget!

I have been lucky enough to visit conservation initiatives in many parts of the world - seeing the rewilding of the Iberá Wetlands first-hand through Journeys with Purpose has to rank as one of my most enjoyable and inspirational conservation experiences.

My trip with JWP was inspiring, moving, engaging, surprising, fun, challenging, uplifting and motivating. I’ve come away with new friends, business associates, insights, understanding and greater determination to help accelerate rewilding globally.

This was an exceptional tour to the Carpathians with Journeys with Purpose and it exceeded my already high expectations by some distance. Everything about the trip was incredibly special - the hosts, the itinerary, the food and drink, the accommodation and above all the exceptional wildlife and scenery. Perfection!

It was a great privilege to learn about this beautiful part of the world with Barbara and Christoph Promberger. Their vision for the Foundation they have created to protect and sustain it and what they have achieved is phenomenal. Riding round the meadows and hills behind Barbara on my fabulous steed Aida was one of the most exhilarating moments of my life! The flora and abundance of insect life were heaven and we had unexpectedly close encounters with bears, beavers and bison and felt the lurking presence of wolves, lynx and boar. The ecosystem of the Făgăraș Mountains is alive and well and how lucky I was to explore it in the care of JWP.

The week spent in Romania with Barbara and Christophe was truly inspiring. They are an incredible couple and to have had the opportunity to get to know them and their vision thanks to Journeys with Purpose was the greatest privilege.
