sustainable ecotourism is a nature oriented tourism that maintains a sound relationship with the natu-ral environment, and contributes to its conservation. ecological understanding is a prerequisite of sus-tainable ecotourism. nature conservation and ecotourism are interdependent. there should be a sym-biotic relationship between the two, in which, both derive sustainable benefits in a lengthy ...

This paper mainly focused on environmental awareness and practices related to various factors like causes of pollution, conservation of soil, forest, air, etc., energy conservation, conservation of human health, conservation of wild life and animal husbandry. It also discusses environmental practices among college students with regard to the usage of plastic and its disposal, alternative for pl...

We examine the efficiency of conservation of a renewable resource whose natural productivity is influenced by random environmental disturbances. We allow for non-concave biological production and stock-dependent social welfare. Unlike deterministic models, conservation may be inefficient no matter how productive the resource growth function is. In addition, improvements in the natural productiv...

the study investigated secondary school students' environmental awareness in india and iran. nine hundred and ninety-one students were selected through the stratified random sampling technique from 103 secondary schools of mysore city (india) and tehran city (iran). subjects consisted of 476 boys and 515 girls. they were assessed using the environment awareness ability measure (eaam). resu...

From 1985 to 2002, most Federal conservation dollars going to farm operators have been to retire land from crop production. Yet most U.S. farmland (850 million acres) remains in active production. The Farm Security and Rural Investment (FSRI) Act of 2002 sharply increased conservation funding and earmarked most of the increase for working-land payment programs (WLPPs). The design and implementa...

The emerging field of Conservation Physiology links environmental change and ecological success by the application of physiological theory, approaches and tools to elucidate and address conservation problems. Human activity has changed the natural environment to a point where the viability of many ecosystems is now under threat. There are already many descriptions of how changes in biological p...

International aid for conservation currently favours assisting projects promoting local-level solutions derived from 'community' initiatives. Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) are fast becoming the preferred infrastructure through which such funding is channelled. This paper examines the role of environmental NGOs in 'community-based' conservation projects in Jamaica. Concepts of participati...
