We’re all more aware than ever of our carbon footprint. Ecotourism seeks not only to minimize our impact, but to inspire us toward further conservation of the earth’s resources and greater appreciation of its natural beauty.
Are you planning an eco-tour adventure for your students next? Perfect!
An ecotour might take you to the natural habitat of another species where you can observe their nesting rituals or other instinctual seasons. Perhaps you’ll travel to a national park and devote time to removing debris from its trails. Panama, Costa Rica, Florida – even islands in Michigan and other regions throughout the country offer beautiful preserves, largely untouched by industry and development. When you choose an ecotour, you choose to decrease your negative impact on the planet and increase its powerful impact on you.
The natural world offers beauty and education in abundance for groups interested in the environment, outdoor activity, and fun in the sun. There are numerous destinations to visit that will offer an opportunity to examine habitats and plant life, explore life science and biology, and take photos of these beautiful discoveries.
Ecotourism is based on a mission to educate and entertain visitors on the environment by supporting conservation practices, volunteering efforts, and outdoor activities that present the beauty of nature while supporting its preservation. Taking an eco-tour gives your students an environmentally friendly glimpse into our fascinating world. While visiting the natural habitats of any given species, your group may witness nesting or other instinctual rituals, observe the stability of sustainable or endangered ecosystems, and learn about any conservation efforts that may be in place. You may consider observing and experiencing the beauty of nature in Costa Rica, Panama, and the rest of stunning Central America or even any of our great American states.
The United States has several eco-destinations for you to consider, from the wetlands and cypress groves of Florida to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and the tropical forests of Hawaii. California is one of most eco-tour friendly destinations with Half Moon Bay, Catalina Island, the Channel Islands, and Yosemite National Park among others offering ecotourism activities. From the magnificent redwoods to the pristine beaches, your group can witness the beauty of the land while taking part in water sports, hiking, bird and wildlife watching, and more!
