With recent governmental activity around climate change we are are welcoming Loraiza Davies from Green Planet Ventures a conservation based travel company to talk about the estate of the world forests and how travel companies can help nature conservation. Loraiza will talk us through an overview of the world's forests, why tropical forests are important, the drivers of deforestation and how the travel industry can help. It promises to be a fascinating talk

The talk will be followed, as usual, by drinks and pizza as we welcome our new sponsor Clarke and Son and thank them for their support

Speaker Bio

After 20 years of working in environment and sustainability, having worked for NGOs, government organizations and corporates, Loraiza decided to “go back to school” and do a Master’s in Environment and Development at King’s College London. Her readings into political ecology inspired her to take a new direction and create a Nature-Tourism travel company to help protect tropical forests and its people, as well as help inspire the new generation of leaders. Her company Green Planet Ventures organises holidays for those that like the outdoors and explore nature; as a means to support nature conservation in those places.
