Why focus on sustainable and ethical travel? The fuel guzzling flights, water wasting hotels, wildlife exploitation for tourism, privatization of nature exclusively for the wealthy, destruction of forests & beaches for resorts, and so much more… For years, I traveled abroad blind to how my decisions could harm local people, economy, habitats, and wildlife with the umption that travel was always force of 'good'. In hopes of changing the detrimental costs of tourism, The Uprooted Rose began to guide those who love travel and nature. When you travel responsibly, nature reaps the benefits & when you guide your travels by nature, you open your heart to the beauty of the world.

What is Ecotourism? - everything you need to know about sustainable travel — The Uprooted Rose

So What Exactly is Ecotourism? How can we travel the world in a way that doesn't impact the natural environment or local populations in a negative way? Ecotourism strives to answer this exact question by maximizing adventure and minimizing harm. Sounds good, right? Here are several concrete definitions of ecotourism from leading environmental NGOs and responsible tourism organizations to help understand the concept of ecotourism better: Environmentally responsible travel to natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature (and accompanying cultural features, both past and present) that promote conservation, have a low visitor impact and provide for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local peoples. -  The Nature Conservancy &  World Conservation Union (IUCN) Examples of Ecotourism Staying at a Carbon Neutral Hotel - If you find yourself in a city, search for a carbon neutral hotel. Being carbon neutral means that the carbon created by your stay is offset in someway by the hotel. To be carbon neutral, a hotel must first reduce their carbon energy as much as possible - through the use of solar panels, energy efficient lighting and air conditioning or heating - and after your stay the hotel pays to offset any excess energy used by financially supporting carbon-reduction projects such as reforestation initiatives. Check out this awesome carbon neutral hotel in Belize to learn more. Finding a REAL ecolodge - “Ecolodges” and “eco-hotels” have recently started trending on the internet.  However you will come across many accommodations that use these titles without actually practicing sustainability. Typically, ecolodges can be found in well-protected natural settings that are not plagued by rapid development. A true ecolodge is defined by its ability to play a role in protecting biodiversity, wildlife, and pristine landscapes. To see an example of a good ecolodge, check out Rainforest Expeditions in the Peruvian Amazon.
