Natural history tour operator Wildlife Worldwide was 'Highly Commended' in the AITO Responsible Tourism Awards 2006. The award was in part due to Wildlife Worldwide's remarkable £50,000 fund-raising success for conservation through their annual international Festival of Wildlife.

Chris Breen, MD of Wildlife Worldwide comments, ”we work hard to ensure that our trips are as environmentally sensitive as possible and we have a particular aim to assist in the conservation of endangered species through our work with the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation amongst others. We were all absolutely delighted to have received this commendation from AITO, everyone at Wildlife Worldwide is very proud."
For 2007 the Festival will be held in the idyllic setting of King Pacific Lodge, British Columbia. There is still some limited availability so book soon.
