Environmental Impact: Explore Lamu’s Commitment to Conservation
At Explore Lamu, we believe in the profound connection between travelers and the environment, and our commitment extends beyond exploration to active conservation. One of the initiatives we support is the Lamu Marine Conservation Trust (LaMCoT), a beacon of environmental stewardship founded by Carol Korschen in 1992 to safeguard endangered sea turtles. Since then, LaMCoT has blossomed into a community-driven initiative, encompassing a holistic approach to environmental protection.
