Minimal Environmental Impact 3. Meaningful Community Involvement 5. Environmental Education Conservation may be practiced in many different ways.
Habitat preservation is one of the principal forms of conservation.
Habitats may be preserved by establishing private reserves, supporting established national parks and reserves, or funding native tree reforestation projects. Although protected areas may be visited by tourists, it is important to recognize that their primary purpose is preservation. Whenever visiting a protected area, your visit should be made with minimal impact. Minimal Environmental Impact should be the fundamental goal of every eco-operator. How a hotel or tour operator manages its impact will tell you immediately if it is truly ecologically minded.
