economic contributions to local communities. Wherepossible, we employ local staff which directly benefits thelocal communities vs. government tourism bureaus.Let Global Adrenaline take you responsibly "off the beaten

track" into pristine areas that, in many instances, haveexperienced little, if any, tourism. We have pinpointed

areas where isolation has preserved the stunning natural

environment and traditional ways of life. Take advantage

of the rare opportunity to explore these areas and return

with extraordinary photographs and memories of these

unique cultures and majestic sceneries.

Social ConsiderationsGlobal Adrenaline makes every effort on each expedition to help the local populations where weguide. This means hiring local guides, using local suppliers and making sure that they are given fair

pay for their services. All too often the tourist dollars never make it to the local government and moststay with the national level government through money flows to government owned travel agencies.By channeling as much of the money as possible to local governments and communities, the localpeople are given alternatives to logging out their forests, selling off mining rights in their rivers, orpoaching endangered animals like the snow leopard. Tourism becomes a viable option to naturalresource exploitation, leaving something wild for future generations to enjoy. Where possible, GlobalAdrenaline will also contribute to community welfare through partnerships with local agencies indeveloping health, education or environment programs.Environmental ConsiderationsGlobal Adrenaline is committed to the preservation of the wilderness habitats in the remote regionsexplored by our trips, which are designed to promote an understanding of these regions' delicate

ecosystems. We take a low-impact, self-contained approach, carrying inwhat we needand carrying out all garbage, leaving the environment unspoiled for futuregenerations of explorers. To minimize the impact of our trips on theenvironment, where possible we use stoves rather than firewood forcooking meals. We burn any paper garbage from our kitchen or collectedfrom our clients. All food items originally in glass bottles will be rebottled inplastic that can be reusable on each trek. Used cans, foil from the garbagefire and used batteries will be taken back to civilization by our staff anddelivered to a local waste management project where these items will berecycled. We recommend that you bring your used batteries back to theUSA with you.Global Adrenaline is intimately involved with the creation and maintenance

of wildlife reserves in China, and has proposed some similar reserve ideas

in regions of India. These reserves will eventually create jobs for the local people, while protecting

the natural environment. Tourism continues to play an increasingly important role in the continued

existence of these reserves. If you would like more information on nature reserves in China and
