Casa Des Garcas is committed to sustainability and environmental awareness. The lodge uses renewable energy sources to power its facilities and reduce its carbon emissions. It has solar panels and a wind turbine that generate electricity, and collects rainwater for irrigation and washing. All the accommodation units have low-energy appliances and LED lighting, as well as organic cotton bedding and towels. The lodge practices organic agriculture and permaculture, and sells its produce at local markets and to guests. Casa Des Garcas also supports the conservation efforts of Quirimbas National Park in cooperation with the local community, enabling guests to participate in conservation-related activities that protect the marine and coastal habitats and their animals. The lodge also hosts educational workshops and tours for visitors who want to learn more about eco-friendly living. Casa Des Garcas is not only a guesthouse but also a hub for environmental education and research: a place for travellers and researchers who wish to enjoy and protect biodiversity. The lodge supports collaboration between local and international universities, who use the lodge as a base to carry out important work in the archipelago. Through eco-tourism and cultural exchange, the lodge aims to strive for a sincere, mutually beneficial engagement with the local community, working hand in hand with the people who call Ibo home. Casa Des Garcas employs local staff from the nearby villages and provides them with training and fair wages. The lodge also works with local suppliers and partners to support the local economy and community.
