Wildlife

Generate awareness and protection through meaningful interaction

PROTECTION AND AWARENESS

RESPECT. PROTECT. SHARE.

At its core, Futurismo pioneered Azores’ whale watching, leading the shift from anthropocentric to ecocentric Azorean-cetacean relations. We shaped laws, turning former whalers into whale watching lookouts.

We partner with several institutions to protect wildlife, being recognized as a Responsible Whale Watching Operator by the World Cetacean Alliance.
We combine our tourism activity within the house of scientific research, using that data to collaborate with social, educational, and scientific institutions as well as to improve the quality of our experiences.

MORE PROJECTS

Supported UN Global Goals

Our projects on the Wildlife pillar aim at protecting and respecting the Azorean biodiversity both on land and below water, working to contribute to regenerating the environmental footprint of tourism and promoting responsible action from our stakeholders.

These projects not only educate people about the reality and the challenges, but they also raise awareness so that communities and travelers can make informed choices when they travel and in their daily lives.

Also, by employing our staff throughout the year we contribute to a stable income for many many families.
