THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE
Mangalajodi Ecotourism Trust is a community-owned initiative, which means every trip and stay with them, brings income to participating villagers.
This provides the community with greater income security and a vested interest in protecting the environment from further harm. Wildlife can flourish, while the standard of living for the community improves.
In January 2019, MET’s efforts won them the gold trophy for Best Wildlife Stay at the India Responsible Tourism Awards, organised by Outlook Traveller. MET was also recognised by the state government for its contribution to wildlife protection at the second National Chilika Bird Festival in 2019.
