Ecotourism is travel with ethics. How you can play a part:
1- Choose lodgings that have effective waste treatment systems, that recycle, energy efficient, and, where possible, that use environmentally-friendly energy sources such as solar energy or hydroelectric power

2- View and photograph wildlife from a distance and remember that in the optimal wildlife viewing experience, the animal never knew you were there. Suppress the natural temptation to move too close and respect signs of distress such as alarm calls, distraction displays, laidback ears and raised hair

3- Conserve water - take showers rather than baths, and use a refillable water container. Sterilize water when necessary, rather than buying bottled water

4- Respect the environment, stay on trails during hikes, do not remove plants or feed animals, and never litter. At the sea do not take any marine souvenirs - removal can seriously disrupt ecosystems

5- Respect local culture, traditions and religious places. Insensitive behavior such as taking photographs of people without their consent, or failure to observe local customs, can cause offence

6- Say "No" to Bad Souvenirs - some souvenirs (ivory, bear paw amulets) could end up costing a lot more than you paid for them.
7- Make tourism and conservation compatible - the money you spend on your trip helps determine the development and direction of tourism. Use your money to support reputable, conservation-minded tour operators and suppliers

8- Learn about the culture and customs of the areas you will visit before you go

9- Visit parks and nature reserves - visitor demand and tourist expenditures support existing protected areas and can lead to the protection of additional nature. Get any necessary permits before visiting nature reserves or other protected areas

10- Limit energy use, including your use of air conditioning and hot water. Turn off all lights and taps when you leave hotel rooms
