Ecotravel is one of the best ways to learn about the
world we live in, as well as gain perspective of our own place within
it. However, human interaction with greater parts of the world is just
one of the factors leading to the depletion of animal habitats. Luckily,
the tourism industry has adapted to this need for change and responders
are creating increasing opportunities for individuals to discover new
places, while keeping in mind the needs of the land and the animals that
inhabit it. Below is a list of just a few species that the
International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources
deems "critically endangered" and examples of some organizations that
can help you thoughtfully and ethically visit these species' homes.
