Which of these outcomes is a positive effect of ecotourism on the<br> environment?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.

Explanation:

Options:

a. Ecotourism takes money away from conservation.

b. Ecotourism can exploit local peoples and increase crime rates.

<u>c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.</u>

d. Ecotourism traffic can harm delicate ecosystems.

Ecotourism refers to a type of tourism that is sustainable and responsible. Although there have been many cases in which people are not responsible and actually cause harm to the environment, usually ecotourism could be extremely beneficial for both nature and the economy.

Ecotourism motivates people to care for nature, to appreciate fauna in the wild - instead of trapped in swimming pools or in a circus, to get to know people from other cultures such as tribes and indigenous groups and their lifestyles. Ecotouristic companies provide thousands of jobs and their tours also contribute significantly to the economy of a country. For instance, responsible whale watching provides millions of dollars yearly to the economy of Mexico. People are able to observe whales in their natural habitat, to listen to their vocalizations, and observe their natural undisturbed behavior.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

How do you find the contour interval on a map?

Explanation:

near Denver might have index contours of 5,000', 5,100' and so on with a contour interval of 20 feet. This means that there would be five "spaces," and four non-index contour lines, between each index contour. Often, index points are given along with index contours.
