Help us change the world for good, one adventure at a time. We need your support to get our project to the next stage and get us closer to our target of protecting 1 million acres of rainforest by 2025.

Who We Are and What We Do

My name is Ed. I am 29 years old and I started Biostays last year after a bad ski season in Japan. There was a huge lack of snow due to the worsening climate crisis. I had to act now. I put together a team of fun, young, highly talented, and ambitious individuals who all share the same belief.

If we do not act NOW, the climate crisis will worsen beyond the point of no return. We are already deep into the 6th mass extinction event, of which humans have caused. We must all unite and fight this together for the survival of our species and many others. 

Our small start-up partners up with stunning and unique eco-hotels and experience providers all over the world, some of which you can’t find on the big travel websites. When these hotels are booked on our website, 2 acres of rainforest are protected forever with our partner, The Rainforest Trust. 

Our mission is to get people closer to nature, get outdoors on epic adventures, and protect the planet at the same time as exploring all of its beauty and wonder. 

The climate crisis is by far the most urgent existential threat we face. Forget covid19. We need to act before it’s too late. By protecting rapidly shrinking areas of wildlife around the world, we can do our part in preventing the next mass extinction, for which we are responsible. The tourism industry as it is, is now causing far too much damage to the planet, and we want to prevent this for good. If we do not act now, there will be little of our planet left to explore and enjoy. That is what the Biostays vision is built upon, and why environmental consciousness and conservation will always be at the heart of what we do. However, due to limited funding, not to mention the fact that travel has been pretty rubbish over the past year and a half, we’ll need help from you guys!

What We Need and What You Get

We are aiming to raise £50,000 through this campaign. For every supporter [backer] who gives £20, we will donate a portion of your contribution to Rainforest Trust UK to save an acre of rainforest. You will be offered a personalized digital or physical certificate outlining how many acres Rainforest Trust has been able to protect through your contribution. This is important to us as we want to build our vision and make a lasting change as we do it.

Alternatively, through our perks, you can invest £100 or £500 and have the option to get this money back when you book with us!*

The Impact

Your contribution will go towards building our team, expanding our global network of partners, and upgrading our website to allow for seamless bookings and enhance the services we offer. This means you get to go on your adventure sooner, and more bookings will be made on our website, with more choices of stunning places to visit. This means that more acres of rainforest get saved. This results in more animals staying in their homes, cleaner air, more biodiversity, and the slowing down of habitat destruction and the climate emergency. Right now, for all life on earth, the climate crisis MUST be at the forefront of everything. This is an emergency. We must act before it is too late. Otherwise, there will be not much left on our planet to enjoy and visit. At the current rate, around 70,000 acres of rainforest get destroyed every day, so we MUST act now. Please help us and join the revolution!

Risks & Challenges

Our main risks are our larger competitors. These big travel websites have a huge amount of power and an agenda that isn’t necessarily mindful of the state of our planet. This is simply not good enough. We are all about the planet, getting people closer to nature, and getting rid of greedy middlemen/big corporations who only care about profits and shareholders.

Other Ways You Can Help

We understand that not everyone can give money. It has been a tough year and a half for everyone with the pandemic hitting people’s wallets, among other things. You can really help us by following our Instagram (@biostays), singing up to our newsletter (at biostays.com – it’s free), or telling friends and family about our vision and campaign.
