Rumit: Happy to be with you, Spiffy! At Immersion Journeys, we provide travel experiences to Africa and South Asia, address wildlife conservation, and emphasize how wildlife and humans can live side by side in a sustainable manner. We are addressing several important issues  through travel. With shrinking land for wildlife to roam freely as we make space for humans, there are a lot of unprecedented pressures on global ecosystems. We are also facing climate threats that affect humans and wildlife alike. By wielding tourism as a tool, we are creating experiences and awareness of the work being done to conserve endangered species, working to protect pristine wilderness areas, and helping support local communities through steady employment in the hospitality sector.

Sachi: Happy to be with you, Spiffy! For starters, our food system is making us sick AND the planet sick! Six in ten Americans have at least one chronic, preventable disease, primarily due to lack of nutrition and exercise. Our methods of producing food (industrial agriculture) is ruining our soil, biodiversity, and groundwater, all while contributing to climate change. As populations grow, we need to produce more nutritious food for more people with less environmental and climate impact. There is no single solution. However, there is a bright spot: seaweed!
