About TerraFauna Journeys
Our Mission
At TerraFauna Journeys, our mission is to inspire conservation, one journey at a time. Where luxury is redefined by purpose—carefully stewarded journeys that restore the wild and transform travel into a powerful force for conservation. Through our exclusive private and group journeys, along with our dedicated partnerships with conservationists around the globe, we create immersive experiences that allow travelers to witness the beauty of the natural world while actively contributing to its preservation.
Our collaborations with conservationists help amplify their impact and raise vital funds for their important projects.

By offering these transformative experiences, we aim to ignite a movement of conservation and sustainability, inspiring travelers to protect and cherish our planet for future generations.
Our Values
Conservation & Preservation
We are deeply committed to the protection and preservation of the world’s most fragile ecosystems. Through our partnerships with leading conservationists, we support wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, and sustainable tourism practices that ensure the future of our planet’s most precious natural resources.
Regenerative Travel & Sustainability
We believe that travel should not only minimize harm but actively contribute to the regeneration of the environment. Our journeys focus on leaving the places we visit better than we found them. Every journey we offer is designed to minimize environmental impact, promote ethical tourism, and leave a positive footprint on the communities and ecosystems we visit.
Authentic Connection to Nature
We seek to foster a deep, respectful connection to the land and its wildlife. Our journeys are designed not just to explore the beauty of the world, but to engage travelers in meaningful experiences that inspire awe, respect, and a desire to protect the planet.
Collaboration & Education
We believe in the power of partnership. By working alongside conservationists, local communities, and experts, we provide authentic insights and opportunities for travelers to learn about global conservation efforts. We aim to equip our guests with the knowledge and inspiration to become active participants in safeguarding the environment.
Cultural Respect & Empowerment
We respect and celebrate the cultures and traditions of the communities we visit. Our journeys foster meaningful interactions, where travelers can learn from local cultures, and through our support, help empower these communities to thrive in harmony with nature.
Exclusive, Transformative Experiences
We are committed to offering once-in-a-lifetime journeys that provide luxury, comfort, and authenticity. Our exclusive travel experiences are designed to be transformative—connecting you to nature and inspiring you to become an advocate for conservation, sustainability, and responsible travel.
Integrity & Transparency
We operate with the highest standards of integrity, ensuring that all our partnerships, operations, and practices align with our values. Transparency is at the heart of what we do, from how we select our conservation partners to how we share the impact of our work.
A little about our Founder
Ami Jones is a seasoned travel professional, passionate conservationist, and respected leader in sustainable tourism with over 15 years of experience designing and guiding meaningful journeys across the globe. Her path began in 2008 in Placencia, Belize—an early spark that ignited a lifelong commitment to using travel as a force for good.
Since then, Ami has held key roles in both for-profit and nonprofit sectors spanning student travel, wellness, educational tourism, and conservation. She has led innovative sustainability initiatives—including the development of pioneering low-impact travel models—and helped shape strategies that prioritize environmental stewardship and community empowerment. Her work has taken her from the Arctic tundra to the Brazilian Amazon, always rooted in deep partnerships with local people and places.
In 2025, Ami founded TerraFauna Journeys to bring that mission to life. With a bold vision to inspire conservation, one journey at a time, she leads the company committed to reconnecting travelers with the natural world—while directly supporting the people and ecosystems that make each destination extraordinary.
Her belief is simple but powerful: when done thoughtfully, travel can change lives and help protect our planet for future generations.
