Biosphere Expeditions & Land Rover

In 2002 Biosphere Expeditions was delighted to become one of a select few partners in Land Rover's environmental sponsorship programme "Fragile Earth". Since then Land Rover and Land Rover Experience have been instrumental to the running of many field projects such as lion & cheetah conservation in Namibia, snow leopard research in the Altai, Arabian leopard studies in Oman, jaguar & puma conservation in Brazil, work on chamois, wolves & bears in Slovakia, and a climate change expedition in the Spanish Pyrenees.

Fragile Earth

Land Rover's Fragile Earth policy is the company's commitment to the environment through the sponsorship of leading environmental organisations, the development of sustainable practices and technologies and the company's 'Off-Road Code'  [more about Fragile Earth and its sponsorship partners].

Kathy Wilden, a Director of Biosphere Expeditions, says "we are delighted to be part of Land Rover's Fragile Earth programme. In Land Rover we have found an excellent Global Partner with an exemplary corporate conscience. Land Rover is crucial in reducing our running and expedition costs by providing the ultimate expedition vehicle and sponsorship, so that we can divert more much-needed funds into local projects and people. Our Land Rovers also enable us to take our conservation expeditions to some of the most inhospitable and inaccessible places on Earth, and to support local scientists and conservation efforts with much needed and often invaluable vehicle back-up."
