What is the philosophy behind MOYO Training Foundation?

The MOYO Training Foundation is a non profit organization that supports wildlife, biodiversity and communities across the globe by delivering nature positive training programmes. They connect people & nature, so that you can become nature positive.

MOYO offers high quality training programs in the world’s most beautiful and unique nature areas, and invites everyone to join them in nature and learn about & support the nature positive movement. They believe that nature based tourism and travel needs to move towards a regenerative industry that protects wildlife, habitats and communities, supports the rewilding of natural areas, and is mutually beneficial for locals, visitors ánd for nature.

Therefore, MOYO wants these training programs to have a direct impact on nature which is why 10% goes on top of your training fee goes directly towards supporting nature in the areas we operate in, and benefitting new trainees through (partly) funded trainings. They also believe in social responsibility, and would like our training programmes to be available for everyone.

To achieve this, they fundraise in order to offer the programs at a lower cost to nature guides & enterprises that are committed to operate more nature positive. When you join one of the MOYO training programs, you choose to sponsor participants who can not (fully) afford to join a Nature Positive tourism training program themselves.

Nature & wildlife guides, students and tourism entrepeneurs from all over the world would like to join our responsible tourism programs, so they can operate more Nature Positive. They are often passionate individuals who have real impact on nature, want to contribute directly to the area they work in, and learn how to improve their skills and their businesses. But they do not make a lot of money.

What programmes does the MOYO Training Foundation offer?

MOYO offers a variety of training programs in and for nature. These trainings are focused on Nature Positive tourism & travel and Nature Positive health & wellbeing. A few of examples would be as follows:
