Conservation And Protected Areas Questions
The role of ecotourism in conservation is to promote sustainable tourism practices that minimize negative impacts on the environment and local communities, while also generating economic benefits for conservation efforts. Ecotourism encourages visitors to appreciate and respect natural areas, fostering a sense of environmental stewardship. It can provide financial support for the conservation and management of protected areas, as well as contribute to local economies, creating incentives for communities to protect their natural resources. Additionally, ecotourism can raise awareness about the importance of conservation and biodiversity, leading to increased support and advocacy for protected areas.
