A&K Philanthropy

A deep-rooted consideration for the natural world infuses each and every Abercrombie & Kent journey.

A&K believes passionately that travel should both respect the natural environment and benefit the peoples whose lands we visit. For over 30 years, A&K has been intimately involved in the support of these communities, their environments and their ecosystems.

Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP), guided by Vice Chairman Jorie Butler Kent, facilitates our commitment to socially and ecologically responsible travel worldwide, as well as helping our guests to become actively involved in these efforts. Every Abercrombie & Kent office plays an important hands-on role in its community, proudly sponsoring projects directly benefiting the local people and environment.

AKP Helps Protect the Endangered Kiwi

National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa at Rainbow Springs Nature Park in Rotorua is helping to increase numbers of the beloved icon of New Zealand, one of the most unusual birds in the world. The endangered kiwi was on the brink of extinction, but Conservation in Action is now bringing it back. Since 1995, National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa has hatched more than 1,800 kiwi chicks. AKP has been supporting their remarkable work since 2009.

AKP Supports Tasmanian Raptor Rehabilitation

The one-of-a-kind Raptor Refuge south of Hobart is doing incredible work taking in injured birds of prey and rehabilitating them for return to the wild. Threatened by power lines, farming, habitat loss and wind farms, more than a hundred raptors are killed each year and there are less than 120 breeding pairs of wedge-tailed eagles left in Tasmania, making them a threatened species. At the refuge, large flight aviaries, veterinary facilities and an educational centre provide a solid foundation for the important conservation work being undertaken.
