Ecotourism, particularly nature-based tourism, is one of the fastest-growing segments of tourism; And it can have both positive and negative impacts on the remaining natural areas.

At some point in my ventures, it became evidently clear that when local people are forced to choose between food on their family\u2019s plate and sustainable environmental practices, the latter becomes harder to appreciate. Caring about the preservation of the natural world is an attitude that is taught and embraced, and one much easier to dedicate a life to when all of your needs are met elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e637d9 de_scroll_animation_no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e637d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In starting EcologyByAnderson, I felt it incredibly important to have a positive impact on the landscapes I visited, ensuring to provide communities off the beaten path with further opportunities into regenerative ecotourism, sustainability and long term business development.
