Take Action
Participate in projects that
have measurable outcomes
Wild Lab Projects is a nonprofit dedicated to nature conservation, citizen science and regenerative traveling. Regenerative means that the participants who join our projects leave a net-positive impact on the place they visit. One important rule for our projects: the outcome must be real and measurable.
We partner with researchers and co-design projects accessible to all. After welcoming and training the participants, we aim to heal nature, help wildlife, restore natural habitats, raise empathy and grow a community of nature advocates.
Our Shared Responsibility
Tromsø is an incredibly unique city, known as the gateway to the Arctic. It sits 350km north of the Arctic Circle at 70 degrees north. Tromsø is attractive for its nature and for its city life, and is easily reachable by an international airport.
But Tromsø’s accessibility and popularity come with challenges. The city has experienced an unprecedented tourism boom. This frenzy is sometimes perceived negatively by locals used to peace and quiet, and tensions have emerged. Nature is also taking a hit. It is this realization, and our desire to do something about it that brought Wild Lab Projects to life. Now, travelers have the opportunity to contribute to projects that help solve local problems and heal nature. As a visitor, your experience into the Arctic will leave a positive impact and you’ll be part of the change.
