Answer:

The Colorado River is facing major environmental changes and is at risk of drying up. Human actions along the river are primarily responsible for these changes. For the past century, farms, towns, and cities adjacent to the river have drawn off freshwater for agricultural or drinking purposes. Additionally, climate change has resulted in more intense droughts and less rainfall, which also contribute to the river’s shrinking size.

Most major cities in the region will need to drastically reduce the amount of water they take from the river basin. Las Vegas, Nevada, for instance, is a city of 2 million people, but it uses a small amount of water from the Colorado River compared to other cities in the region. Las Vegas laws impose water restrictions on people in the city. Other cities in the region will ultimately need to adopt similar rules and regulations to prevent the river from drying up.

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.
