1% Environmental Donation
Your Adventure Funds Conservation
At Trip Carver, we believe in making travel a force for good. That's why 1% of every booking
goes to carefully selected local environmental charities in cook islands.
Each year, the local providers we work with vote on which environmental charities, NGOs or initiatives
they want to support. We don't play favourites – we simply split the 1% fairly between the chosen
causes. That way, your bookings reflect the values of the people hosting you.

Last Year's Pick: Te Ipukarea Society
Last year, your bookings helped fund the Te Ipukarea Society, a local organisation leading many vital initiatives to protect the beautiful
landscapes and wildlife of the Cook Islands.
“The donation will go towards continuing the Society's efforts in native and endemic
biodiversity surveying and monitoring, waste management awareness and support for youth
environmental awareness raising programs,” says Kelvin Passfield, Technical Advisor of
Te Ipukarea.
The other contender was SPREP, the
Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, a regional organisation
working to protect and manage the environment and natural resources across the
Pacific.
