“Collectively, we have the power to create a better world for future generations, for our wildlife and the environment by minimising waste and travelling more thoughtfully by choosing tourism operators that have conservation as a key pillar whenever possible,” says Cathy Wagstaff, Editor-in-Chief of Signature Luxury Travel & Style. “Tread lightly, and enjoy greatly, is our mantra for this issue of the magazine.”
To bring you the stories that matter, we interview three of the world's greatest ambassadors for conservation: Sir David Attenborough (page 58), Dr Jane Goodall, DBE (page 78), and Dr Sylvia Earle (page 68). Their perspectives on the state of the planet – and how we can make it a better place – will change the way you think about travel, and also about our relationship with the environment.
Be sure to read our top 25 conservation experiences around the world (page 48) – from supporting Australian raptors on a tour to Tasmania with Abercrombie & Kent to rehabilitating turtles with marine biologists at the Four Seasons in the Maldives – and Kate Webster's feature on how to recognise tourism organisations that endorse ethical travel to ensure we support the right operators (page 62). We also take you on a walking safari with mountain gorillas around Singita's newest lodge in Rwanda (page 82), and then embark on a jeep safari looking for tigers deep in the heart of India with photojournalist Dale R Morris (page 86).
Fashion too has a huge impact on our world – more than most of us would imagine. Sigourney Cantelo's article (page 184) on how fast fashion is killing the planet will make you rethink your choices when it comes to that spur-of-the-moment purchase.
In between, we bring you updates on river cruising and how the 2022/23 season is forging ahead (page 142); gaze in wonder at the Northern Lights with Hurtigruten (page 152); experience some of New Zealand's out-of-this-world culinary experiences (page 164); and reveal how you can own ethically-sourced emeralds from Colombia (page 182).
“Our team worked tirelessly to bring you some of the world's most important stories in this issue,” continues Cathy. “We hope this volume of Signature Luxury Travel & Style is as educational as it is inspiring.”
