The fight against Climate Change
We are pleased to inform our guests, that Heli Austria Iceland has reached an international consensus on a meaningful standard to foster reduction in CO2 emissions from our aircraft's.
We are encouraged by this success and believe it puts us on a promising path to secure a robust market-based measure.
This is another example of the teams deep commitment to working with the international community on policies that will reduce harmful carbon pollution worldwide.
Foster wetlands with Heli Austria Iceland
The Icelandic Wetland Fund offers the possibility of fostering wetlands or making single donations to the fund.
1 ton of released Co2 makes for ISK 2.000 that goes directly to supporting the preserving of Icelandic wetlands.
The Fund ensures that the restoration is carried out professionally and in accordance with approved methods and under the supervision of specialists of the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland. Volunteers monitor the positive effects of wetland restoration on birds, plants and other wildlife in selected areas. The Icelandic wetlands are significant nesting sites for many bird species.
It is estimated that up to two–thirds of all greenhouse gas emissions in Iceland are from drained wetlands. Therefore, it is essential to start the reclamation of wetlands as soon as possible. This cannot be solely on the shoulders of landowners or farmers. Instead, it is the responsibility of the whole society. The Fund assists landowners in recovering wetlands not used for cultivation or forestry by financing restoration projects and, depending on circumstances, providing education, personnel or equipment.
