Ecoturismolatino proposes the following EcoTraveller's Code as guide
for people planning to visit natural protected areas (NPAs) in Latin
America. The code is structured around the contexts present in an NPA:
Natural
Protect
the fauna and flora.
Remove
rubbish.
What ever you take into the NPA you must take out. That includes your
equipment and rubbish.
Keep
streams, rives, lakes and lagoons clean.
Take
care with fire.
Cultural
Respect
the privacy of the local communities.
Buy
local produce and services.
Respect
the cultural heritage of the area.
Social
Camp
with care.
Leave no trace of your visit.
Consider
other EcoTravellers.
Managerial
Follow
the regulations of the NPA.
Pay
your fees. Remember that the money supports the conservation
of the NPA.
If you have
other points to suggest for this code join our EcoTravellers
eGroup and present your ideas for discussion!
