Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ecological Tourism, also known as ecotourism, is responsible travel to fragile, pristine, and usually protected areas that strives to be low impact and small scale. It can serve the purpose of educating the tourist, providing funds for conservation, directly benefiting the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or fostering respect for different cultures and for human rights. This book delves into the elements that make a location an ecotourist destination including habitat conservation and sustainability.
