Beaks and Peaks supports a number of conservation and development projects in Honduras by including those programmes into our wildlife tours.
One of the projects we work with is Montaña de Vida, an ecotourism and conservation project in the Santa Bárbara mountains near Lake Yojoa. It is aimed at providing the local communities with an alternative source of income based on ecotourism. This means they no longer solely depend on coffee production and can start protecting the mountain forest instead of cutting it down for coffee growing. The communities offer several trip packages, serve food, offer accommodation and have created trails to show visitors the natural beauty of their local environment.
Furthermore, Beaks and Peaks also works with birdwatching clubs such as the Tanunas and Caciques from Gracias in order to show children and youngsters the importance and beauty of their environment and hope that some of them may even take an interest in guiding themselves to pass on the legacy.
Beaks and Peaks also organizes, promotes and supports bird counts and other birding-related events in Honduras such as the Lake Yojoa Birding Blitz, Conteo de Aves Celaque, Lancetillo Conteo Navideño etc.
As the first institutional member of the Honduran Ornithology Association (ASHO), Beaks and Peaks is proud to continue working with the Association and alongside its many individual and institutional members to promote the scientific study as well as the leisurely enjoyment of birds in and of course bird-related travel to Honduras.
On our tours, Beaks and Peaks also goes to significant lengths to reduce our non-recyclable waste. Where possible, we will bring reusable bottles, plates, cups and cutlery, so we can cut down on the amount of plastic, paper and styrofoam.
Beaks and Peaks also makes sure to work with local communities, individuals and businesses as much as possible, so that the money you pay for your tour actually stays in the country and in those communities. That way, tourism can contribute to the empowerment of local people, the conservation of resources and the much-needed sustainable growth of the local economy.
