Spekboom: The Carbon-Sequestering Plant in Africa’s Great Karoo

Over the course of 25 years, the Tompkins family have worked on a variety of successful restoration projects at Samara Karoo, but this “miracle plant” has turned out to be the one of the most effective carbon-sequestering schemes they could have possibly imagined.

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.
