Sleep at community-owned eco-resorts. When done right, tourism can “give rural regions the incentive—and the means—to care for their natural treasures.” Staying at eco-lodges and locally run establishments supports “both nature and villagers.” The sustainable-tourism index (Eco-indextourism.org/en) can identify places to stay.
Travel with conservationists. “Venerable green groups” such as the World Wildlife Fund and Conservation International offer ecologically safe trips to the “planet’s most spectacular places.”
