San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance
in Partnership with Journeys With Purpose
The Partnership
As one of the world’s largest and most dynamic conservation organisations, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance brings decades of leadership in global conservation. Its integrated approach uniting wildlife health, field science and education plays a pivotal role in protecting endangered species and restoring some of the planet’s most vital and fragile ecosystems. Sustainable conservation solutions are at the heart of everything SDZWA does. And it starts with the connection it makes with people and wildlife every day.
Guided by its approach to intentional travel, Journeys With Purpose curates distinctive journeys that offer rare, hands-on access to SDZWA’s conservation initiatives. Guests are invited to walk alongside expert practitioners in the field, gaining an authentic, on-the-ground understanding of what it truly means to advance conservation at scale.
Together we offer a series of world-class and remarkable opportunities to travel to the most exciting and impactful destinations on highly curated learning journeys. These journeys are a global curriculum with world-class experts.
Journeys With Purpose’s brand promise for all these experiences is proprietary, innovative and ambitious Access, Knowledge and Connection.

Our purpose
Journeys With Purpose is a member of 1% for the Planet. It donates 1% of the price of all these journeys to SDZWA. Therefore, all guests are contributing to the destinations, projects and communities they visit. 1% for the Planet was founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia) and Craig Mathews (founder of Blue Ribbon Flies) to encourage businesses to donate 1% of annual sales to environmental causes. This global organisation connects businesses and individuals with approved environmental partners to support climate, land, water, wildlife, and pollution initiatives. In 2022, Yvon Chouinard donated 100% of the ownership of Patagonia to trusts dedicated to protecting our environment and climate.
