Download or read book Rainforest Tourism Conservation and Management written by Bruce Prideaux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally rainforests are under threat on numerous fronts, including clearing for agriculture, harvesting for timber and urban expansion. Yet they have a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and providing other ecosystem services. As the term is used in this book, rainforests include both temperate and tropical, although the emphasis is on tropical rainforests. Rainforests are also attractive tourist spaces and where they have been used as a tourism resource have generated significant income for local communities. However not all use of rainforests as a tourism resource has been sustainable. This book argues that sustainability must be the foundation on which tourism use of this complex but ultimately fragile ecosystem must be built upon. It provides a multi-disciplinary perspective, incorporating rainforest science, management and tourism issues. The book is organized into four sections commencing with Rainforest Ecology and Management followed by People and Rainforests, Opportunities for Rainforest Tourism Development and finally Threats to Rainforests. Each major rainforest region is covered, including the Amazon, Central America, Africa, Australia and south-east Asia, in the context of a specific issue. For example rainforests in Papua New Guinea are examined in the context of community-based ecotourism development, while the rainforests in Borneo are discussed in an examination of wildlife issues. Other issues covered in this manner include governance, empowerment issues for rainforest peoples and climate change.

About the Author After attending his first year at the University of Costa Rica, in the early 80s, Mynor was infected with the beautiful traveler's disease, with results so far incurable. His first big trip started in Nicaragua, a country torn by war. He then crossed the border to El Salvador, another country plagued by guerrilla warfare. After surviving the crossing of Central America and the Mexican desert, Mynor came to the USA, before finally settling in Canada. Since then, he has accumulated thousands of miles, traveling around the Americas and other continents. He has worked and lived in Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Costa Rica, and many U.S. cities. Today, his home is in a suitcase, usually in a country or place between Brazil and Costa Rica. Most recently, Mynor has spent over a year traveling the world, mainly in South America, navigating several rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. It was there that he finally decided to achieve one of his most cherished dreams: to navigate the mighty Amazon River from its inception in Peru to its flows into the beautiful Atlantic coast of Brazil. After traveling in more than 60 countries, some of his favorite places are Thailand, Costa Rica, and China; but he lists Colombia and Sweden as countries on the list of places that everyone should visit before they die. In his own country, his favorite sights include visiting the active Arenal Volcano and lying on the Manuel Antonio beaches. Currently he is busy writing his upcoming books "Walking from Costa Rica to the Amazon" and Amazon: Wisdom and Life Lessons. One of his most memorable travel experiences occurred when a herd of monkeys stole his camera and lunch, while Mynor was enjoying the sea in Costa Rica's Pacific beaches.
