Eco-LodgesFor an ecolodge to make it into our listings: It is located in a natural area,& employs systems that protect the environment from pollution and degradation. It often employs energy saving tactics and possibly renewable energy technology. It employs, or has access to, interpretive nature guides who are either trained in biology or have significant local knowledge of the habitat. It provides books, posters, maps, photographs, orientation talks or other ways to inform guests and visitors about the biology of the area. It contributes the local economy and helps demonstrate that ecotourism is a more sustainable long term way to earn income than destroying or altering habitats for short term gains. |
