Responsible & Sustainable Wildlife Tourism

At Sondor, we are committed to ethical and sustainable wildlife tourism. Our Wildlife Interaction Code ensures that every tour we offer upholds the highest standards of animal welfare, environmental preservation, and legal compliance.

Here are the key principles we follow:

  1. Respect for Wildlife and Natural Habitats

We prioritize minimizing human impact on wildlife and their habitats. Our tours are designed to ensure animals and ecosystems remain undisturbed, allowing for natural behaviors to thrive.

  1. Ethical Interaction with Wildlife

Guests are encouraged to observe wildlife from a safe distance—never touching or feeding animals. This ensures our activities do not interfere with their natural behaviors or routines.

  1. Support for Conservation

Through our tours, we educate guests on local wildlife and conservation initiatives, promoting the protection of endangered species and their environments.

  1. No Harmful or Exploitative Activities

We strictly prohibit any form of harm or exploitation of wildlife. This includes hunting, trapping, or using animals for entertainment.

  1. Legal Compliance

All wildlife interactions comply with local, national, and international laws, such as CITES, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Albanian Wildlife Protection Law, ensuring all activities are lawful and sustainable.

  1. Community Engagement

We work with local communities to ensure they benefit from wildlife tourism, creating sustainable livelihoods and promoting responsible wildlife practices.

  1. Continuous Improvement

We regularly assess our practices to minimize our environmental impact, adjusting based on feedback, local conservation needs, and evolving wildlife protection laws.

Why It Matters

By following these principles, Sondor ensures that wildlife tourism has a positive impact on conservation efforts and that we respect the natural world. We aim to provide ethical, sustainable wildlife experiences for our guests, contributing to long-term wildlife protection.
