National Geographic Awards
| Congratulations to Arkaba – a finalist for the National Geographic World Legacy Awards in the category Conserving the Natural World. The World Legacy Awards, a partnership between the National Geographic Society and ITB Berlin, showcase the leading travel and tourism companies, organisations and destinations — ranging from large resorts to small eco-lodges and from wildlife conservancies to geoparks — driving the sustainable tourism transformation of the travel industry based on National Geographic’s work of inspiring people to care about the planet. “Conserving the Natural World — Recognizing outstanding support for the preservation of nature, restoring natural habitat and protecting rare and endangered species, whether on land or in the oceans…. Arkaba by Wild Bush Luxury, Australia — Located on the outskirts of Flinders Ranges National Park, Wild Bush has systematically restored a 60,000-acre former sheep ranch into a thriving wildlife conservancy. Sharing its scientific monitoring of the area’s biodiversity with its guests, conservation groups and community members, Wild Bush is demonstrating that ecotourism can be a vehicle for nature conservation and rural economic growth.” The winners will be announced on stage at the World Legacy Awards ceremony on March 10, 2016, during ITB Berlin. Finalists and winners will also be featured in National Geographic Traveler magazine and other National Geographic media.
