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
