World's Top 10 Most Ethical Places 2014



Dominica: Also known as "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its unspoiled natural beauty, Dominica is an island offering a number of eco-resorts that are devoted to conserving and preserving the land. In this country, solar power is expanding, animal conservation is at the forefront, and energy independency is a main goal in the coming years.

The Caribbean country has made progress in universal primary education, child mortality rates as well as maternal health. Its native species and forests are relatively unspoiled in comparison to neighboring islands. Impressive efforts are underway to save endemic mountain chickens. Other notable strides in Dominica include the expansion of solar power across the island, work to preserve native populations of frogs and iguanas, and a stated goal to become energy independent and carbon negative by 2020.

Latvia: Visitors who return from Latvia recommended that this country should be “enjoyed slowly and calmly.” Apart from its capital Riga (and its historical centre of Old Riga), the cities and towns of Cesis, Kuldiga, Sigulda and Talsi are also on the world Atlas. Latvia has about 500 km of Baltic coastal beaches, forests, rivers, national parks and birding hotspots. Besides its beautiful landscape, Latvia is well-rated for human rights and press freedom, and also received high ratings for environmental protection. Latvia also is the highest ranked country of this year, according to The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report for 2013, showing Latvia to be a leader in gender equality. It is one of the only countries in the world where natural ecosystems and forests still comprise half of its territory. This untouched natural wonder is perfect for sustainable exploration.
