In 2018, TOSCO Trust increased its incomes by 32% in relation with the previous year. That means we fundraised 959.869,77 NAD with 45 members. That allowed us to support different programs all around Namibia; in terms of;
• Research;
We sponsor recognized scientists who preserve species and give conservation recommendations to the Minister of Environment and Tourism (MET);
• Living with Wildlife;
We support people living with wildlife outside of National Parks in order to turn this threat into an opportunity for them;
• Public Awareness;
We raise public awareness about conservation matters in order to promote responsible travel in Namibia;
• Clean Travel;
We clean visible and invisible pollution during and after our safaris, from the ground to the air.
This was possible thanks to your support and interest in responsible and sustainable tourism in Namibia.
We have big plans this year and we want you to be part of this new adventure. We have been working on a new “Membership Category System” and we are bringing new “Features and Benefits”for all 3 different categories.
Some great events will happen this year 2019; TOSCO Trust is partnering with Elephant Human Relations Aid (EHRA), Eloolo Permaculture initiative and Snakes of Namibia, to propose 1 free* Conservation workshop in the year for all Leopard and Lion TOSCO members. These workshops aim at bringing more understanding of conservation issues to tourism players and build relationships between key stakeholders.
The Conservation Workshop guarantees funds to these organizations to continue with the great job they are doing and at the same time, these workshop grants support training with a strong hands-on learning component.
