Summer 2019

79 Oct18655 Showcasing the Natural Beauty of Madeira Dedicated to showcasing the best of the natural beauty that this stunning region has to offer, Madeira Fauna & Flora is the ecotourism company that offers exceptional wildlife experiences. As part of our Global Holiday Guide we awarded the firm 2018's Best Ecotourism Company – Madeira, and as such LUXlife Magazine was keen to profile the company and explore the unique experiences it has to offer. Welcoming guests from around the world, Madeira Fauna & Flora aims to offer them an unforgettable experience. As part of the firm’s innovative service offering, it offers guests the chance to not only observe and learn all about native species and habitats from its biologist guides, but also to support local communities and biodiversity conservation locally and internationally. This is because Madeira Fauna & Flora works, in partnership with a range of local charities and organisations, to support local wildlife, and money paid to the firm helps to contribute to a range of worthy causes. These causes include the Madeira Bat Conservation & Monitoring Scheme, which the firm helped to create, and the Madeira Butterfly and Moth Monitoring Scheme, which Madeira Fauna & Flora established in association with Butterfly Conservation Europe. Through the work of both of these programmes the collective knowledge of a wide variety of species will be enhanced, as collected data will be sent annually to responsible organizations and used in the European Red Lists of bats, butterflies, moths and dragonflies. Alongside this vital work, a true Ecotourism company genuinely dedicated to the conservation of the region’s wildlife, Madeira Fauna & Flora supports biodiversity conservation through its conservation projects and donations. The firm is a member and partner of several international conservation and ecotourism organizations and also of UN Strategic Plan for Biodiversity. As a result, by taking Madeira Fauna & Flora unique tours, clients are not only enjoying a spectacular experience, but are also contributing to conservation and social projects in Madeira and around the world. Some of the tours on offer from Madeira Fauna & Flora include the only butterfly watching tour on the island, as well as unique land and sea birdwatching experiences, botanical tours and geological explorations that showcase Madeira’s rich history and incredibly rock formations, including amazing volcanic landscapes of the island’s North East coast. There are also exciting snorkelling tours of the island’s reefs where guests can view some of the most beautiful tropical fish in the region. Looking to the future, Madeira Fauna & Flora will continue to offer its diverse variety of tours to showcase the glorious natural wonders of this stunning island, whilst also working to preserve the global ecosystem and encourage biodiversity in Madeira and around the world.
