Our Mission

Building capacity in the world’s most treasured locations to help local stakeholders leverage and manage increasing global ecotourism and the additional pressures it brings.

Meet the SOI Team

Meet the family! We expect a lot of our instructors – hard work, a love of learning, outdoor and medical expertise, and a passion for sharing and helping others – but what we don’t expect is for all of us to come from the same background. Our diversity is our strength.

We strive to bring world-class educational opportunities to exceptional natural areas to support those who live, work in and manage them.

All good – professional and light hearted at the same time. This helped break down language and cultural barriers with participants that are non-English speakers in their mother tongue – Excellent Deliverence!

Lectures were really fantastic.

There is nothing that could be improved.  Everything was excellent.

I really enjoyed the lectures.

There were enough scenarios and I was very interested in the chance to practice my skills.
