A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Supporters

The 8th TOFT Wildlife Tourism Awards 2025 – Momentum is Building!

As the Awards draw closer, we can feel the excitement growing. Our backend team is abuzz with calls, clarifications, queries, and an inspiring stream of new nominations. The task before us is clear: to ensure that the real heroes of nature tourism are recognised, celebrated, and held up as examples for the world.

But none of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our esteemed sponsors. Their generosity and vision fuel this movement, and their choice to align with specific categories reflects their passion for protecting wild nature and empowering local communities.
