Animals and the ecosystem as a whole depend heavily on wildlife conservation. This kind of conservation strives to safeguard both living creatures and their environments. We can observe the consequences of habitat destruction for animals when we do eco-friendly travel practices.

Assisting regional communities

We have neglected small, rural villages that lead diverse lifestyles in our haste to develop better technology and larger metropolis. Like nature, local villages and indigenous traditions have suffered from modernization.
