Lindblad Expeditions Honored by National Wildlife Federation
The federation presented Lindblad Expeditions with the honor at its annual awards banquet in Washington, D.C. Lindblad Expeditions, the pioneering expedition travel company, works in partnership with National Geographic to inspire people to explore and care about the planet. Founded by Sven Lindblad in 1979, Lindblad Expeditions believes that business and conservation go hand in hand, providing real value to guests, to the local communities where they operate, and to Lindblad's business over the long term.

Lindblad Expeditions' educationally oriented voyages to remote and pristine destinations such as Antarctica, the Arctic, Alaska, Baja California and Galapagos allow guests to interact with leading scientists, naturalists and researchers while discovering stunning natural environments, above and below the sea, through state-of-the-art exploration tools. In addition to providing travel opportunities, Lindblad Expeditions has worked hard to be a leader in environmental stewardship. In recent months, the company announced a comprehensive Climate Change Action Plan aimed at minimizing its environmental footprint. And, this past summer, Lindblad Expeditions hosted a high-level Arctic summit of top business, religious and political leaders to maximize awareness and inspire action on global environmental issues. NWF also annually reviews hundreds of wildlife-viewing programs around the globe to select the world's best programs for discovering wildlife while traveling responsibly. In this arena, Lindblad Expeditions consistently is recognized for its outstanding tours to Baja, Galapagos and Alaska and has four itineraries that made it onto NWF's list of the 30 Best Wildlife-Viewing Tours of 2009.
