Gorilla Eco-lodge Featured in Geotourism Challenge
May 12, 2008

The National Geographic Society and Ashoka’s Changemakers have introduced the first Geotourism Challenge to identify and showcase innovators in tourism development, management, and marketing. The one-of-a-kind online competition ( http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/node/7876 ) will raise awareness about how tourism can help sustain, enhance and preserve local culture and environment. Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is a featured entrant in this initiative. Planned and created with strategic support from AWF, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is designed to conserve the highly endangered mountain gorilla and its habitat while uplifting community well-being. The Geotourism Challenge is Changemakers’ 15th collaborative competition and draws on Ashoka’s 27 years of experience in identifying leading social entrepreneurs around the world. Anyone can participate and comment on entries. Please leave a Comment! http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/node/7876 You can vote on Sabyinyo Silverback lodge starting May 28. We'll send out another reminder at that time.
