This is to inform everyone that the Green Leaf Environmental Standard website is now up and running.  Their website is www.greenleafecostandard.net

Please browse the above website and familiarize yourselves with this project which was initiated by the Wilderness Foundation, piloted in Africa, and was launched at South Africa’s Tourism Indaba in May 2008. The Green Leaf Environmental Standard has assessed hotels, game lodges and country estates in the tourism sector, an industry sector that interfaces intrinsically with the environment.

The Green Leaf Environmental Standard is project run by Andrew Mayoral-Phillips.  Andrew MP’s assistant is Shelley Mugridge.  They are based at their own office but use the Wilderness Foundation’s contact details.

Summary of the International Green Leaf Environmental Standard

The Green Leaf Environmental Standard is an International Standard that measures environmental issues. The aim of the standard is to reduce the effects of consumption on our environment and improve upon environmental management and awareness in an eco friendly manner.


Since Indaba, international tourism property owners have embraced the Green Leaf Environmental Standard and are undergoing assessments in African countries including Namibia, Botswana, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. Tour operators have also endorsed the Green Leaf Environmental Standard in response to increasing global environmental pressures and traveler awareness.


The Green Leaf, the iconic logo of the Wilderness Network symbolises the three relationships of human, environment and spirit.
