CONSELVATUR / Selva Bananito Lodge are raising awareness to the fact that over 95 % of all CO2 emissions and other green house gases responsible for global warming caused by international air travel to an eco friendly destination occurs while flying to that precise destination. You can help redefine ecotourism!

You are invited to help both companies mitigate or offset your emissions hand in hand with you, the seasoned and responsible eco tourist, by entering your travel details into the calculators linked to this home page and sponsoring U.N. supervised carbon emissions offsetting calculators and mitigation programs that use primarily renewable sources of energy in developing countries in order to mitigate or counterbalance your emissions. Selva Bananito will provide you with additional activities at the lodge that will reimburse your voluntary sponsoring for carbon neutral flights, anywhere from 50 % of the value of your investment, based upon the carbon neutral certificate, up to a 100 % of your carbon neutral sponsorship, depending on the length of your stay at Selva Bananito or the program you acquire through CONSELVATUR.
