Travel with purpose

Conservation field trips for conscious travellers

At Raw Conservation Adventures, we specialise in extraordinary small group adventures focused on conservation and community.

Unforgettable trips

Raw was created to protect the incredible biodiversity within Sumatra, aid conservation, and support local communities who depend on the spectacular rainforest.

Whether you’re a seasoned wildlife professional, or simply ticking off your bucket list – all Raw adventurers leave their field trip knowing they contributed something meaningful, gained insight into in-situ conservation efforts, and made memories to last a lifetime.
