Virgin Australia has formed a new partnership with the Tasmanian Land Conservancy, to help preserve the environment in Australia’s island state.
Effective immediately, all Virgin Australia passengers will have the option of offsetting the carbon emissions of their flights by paying a small fee in the online booking process, which will then be donated to the Tasmanian Land Conservancy.
“As a proud Australian airline, we are passionate about protecting our unique and diverse environments and we are committed to minimising the impact of our operations on the community,” said Virgin Australia’s group executive of people, culture & sustainability, Geraldine Chin Moody.
“Passengers choosing to offset their flights will directly support the Tasmanian Land Conservancy’s important work in protecting irreplaceable sites, endangered species’ habitats, and rare ecosystems across Tasmania. We look forward to enhancing the partnership going forward and giving our customers unique opportunities to support and protect the Australian habitat.”
Established in 2001, the Tasmanian Land Conservancy is a not-for-profit environmental organisation that manages more than 30,000 hectares of land, providing a safe haven for several rare and threatened species.
“The Tasmanian Land Conservancy is thrilled to be partnering with innovative and leading organisations such as Virgin Australia to conserve Australia’s natural environment. We are also very excited to share with Virgin Australia customers the direct contribution their offsets make to protect Tasmania’s threatened species and ecosystems,” said Tasmanian Land Conservancy’s CEO, Jane Hutchinson.
