This Nordic island is working to balance the benefits of tourism with the need to protect its fragile ecosystems. Tools like the sustainability balance check help monitor both social and environmental impacts to ensure travellers can experience Iceland’s raw beauty in ways that actively support its preservation.
More considered ways to explore this remarkable landscape include small-scale whale-watching tours led by marine biologists, guided glacier walks prioritising safety and stewardship and bird-watching excursions along protected coasts.
Here, tourism and conservation are part of the same conversation. Iceland continues to face environmental challenges, including wildlife disturbance, wear and tear on natural sites and infrastructure strain. Through conscious travel, visitors help protect Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes while supporting the communities who call them home.
As you travel through this unique landscape, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of native species, plants and animals that are naturally found only in this region. These species are key to the health of the local ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and helping maintain nature’s balance.
Many of them face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, making conservation efforts more important than ever. By learning about and appreciating these native species, you’re also helping to protect them for future generations.

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.
In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country.
As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.
Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
