Ecological tourism or ecotourism is a new trend, different kind of alternative tourism to traditional tourism. It is an approach to tourism activities in which the focus is on sustainability, preservation, appreciation of the environment (both natural and cultural) that welcomes and keeps the tourist aware of what is around him. Although there are different interpretations, usually ecotourism tourism is promoted as “ethical”, which is also presumed to be paramount the welfare of local populations, and that presumption is reflected in the structure and operation of companies/groups/cooperatives that engage in providing such service.

Due to its booming ecotourism and became the fastest-growing and most dynamic sector of the global tourism market. This movement appeared in the late 1980s, and has already managed to attract enough international interest to the extent that the UN dedicated 2002 to eco-tourism. See all the beauty that Australia has to offer for less with great deals on Gold Coast accommodation!

The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines ecotourism as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improve the welfare of local people”.

Posted by on January 26th, 2012

By Ecological Internet’s Rainforest Portal

Please end plans for road through Alto Purus and uncontacted indigenous rainforestlTAKE ACTION HERE NOW!

Plans are to build a highway through Alto Purus – Peru?s largest national park ? comprised of vital intact Amazonian rainforest ecosystems and inhabited by at least two ‘uncontacted’ indigenous tribes [search]. The Alto Purus protected rainforest in south-east Peru is an area of incredible biodiversity covering some of the most pristine forests in the southwestern Amazon and home to jaguars, monkeys and pink dolphins. To cut it with a road would compromise the integrity of the entire Amazonion basin and trigger the swift demise of some of Earth?s last isolated hunting and gathering tribes. One of the ‘uncontacted’ tribes in the park is known as the ‘Mashco-Piro’, thought to be the largest group i

ALERT! NAMING NAMES: UN REDD+ Forest Carbon Fund to Log Primary Forests with Corporate NGO Greenwash Support

Posted by on January 4th, 2012

By Ecological Internet’s Rainforest Portal and ClimateArk

Time to end primary forest loggingTAKE ACTION HERE NOW!

Earth is facing the twin global ecological emergencies of abrupt climate change and land being scoured of natural ecosystems. Sadly, corporate American NGOs and the United Nations are responding to these crises by further promoting logging ancient forests. The United Nations REDD+ program to protect primary and old growth forests as a climate change and deforestation solution has been hi-jacked by logging interests [search] and their big pro-logging NGO friends, and will instead subsidize primary forest logging for new plantations. REDD has become a gravy train for consultants, greenwashing NGOs and charlatans of many sorts – claiming logging ancient rainforests for the first time protects them! Old standing natural forest ecosystems are key to sustaining climate, ecosystems, biodiversity, local livelihoods humanity and the Earth System. Corporate NGOs supporting REDD+ must be compelled to stop their old forest logging greenwash – or face ridicule, protest, and an end to public support, until they do.

By Ecological Internet’s Climate Ark Climate Change Portal

Global governments must lead on climate change or abdicate so the people through new institutions can?TAKE ACTION HERE NOW!

The world is careening towards abrupt climate change and global ecosystem collapse. Global climate talks have been stymied by an inability to reconcile the historic carbon debt for past inequitable development with reasonable demands that all nations commit to differentiated emissions reductions. Tell Durban climate meeting delegates that failure to act now upon the looming climate emergency means governments have abdicated and the people will lead.

Green Energy Solutions – Biofuel Alternative

Sustainability means having the least amount of impact on the environment. It’s a balancing act between living well and causing the least amount of environmental degradation, in other words, quality versus quantity.

One natural resource that is finite and non-renewable is natural gas. Yet, we have become extremely dependent on natural gas for water heating purposes. In fact, over half of all single family homes in the United States, are heated with natural gas.

Statistics prove and natural gas companies don’t dispute, the finite nature of this resource. However, many argue there are several decades of supply available, which is probably true. The problem is we will need to destroy many more acres of wilderness to continue to fulfill our supply needs. It’s clear we need clean and sustainable alternative fuel sources to continue our existence.

ALERT! Brazilian Forest Code Revisions Threaten Amazon Rainforest, National Advancement, and Ecological Sustainability

Posted by on December 23rd, 2011

By Ecological Internet’s Rainforest Portal

Destroying rainforests destroys agricultural potentialTAKE ACTION HERE NOW!

Brazil’s industrial agriculture lobby has forced through their Congress changes to the forest code [search], the primary legal instrument related to Amazon rainforest protections. It has been done without any scientific inputs, and in a way that will greatly expand industrial agriculture by reducing ecological protections. Newly elected President Dilma Rousseff must be encouraged to veto the bill, something she promised to do during the election. Efforts to address forest code deficiencies must recommence in a manner that incorporates the latest agro-ecological science regarding sustainable agriculture and the importance of large, connected and intact rainforest ecosystems within agricultural landscapes. Without a veto, recent progress in Amazon rainforest protection is at stake just as Brazil is to host the Rio+20 Earth Summit in 2012.
