Beware of the Humans
Tourists love to take good shots of elephants on photo safaris or watch sea turtles lay (0) their eggs off the coast of Mexico. This is called ecotourism and it’s becoming more and more popular. The idea is to
animals in their natural habitat but  
the same time give people the pleasure of seeing them. Back in the bad old days, the "ugly tourist"  
fly off to a tropical paradise in a pollution-spitting jet plane, lie in the sun and sipcocktails on the beach all day. Staying at a luxurious hotel  
sewage killed the coral reef at its doorstep didn't seem to bother anyone. Today,
tourists seem more interested in saving the earth and meeting rare animals up close than before. Does this mean ecotourism is working  
as planned? Not if one
the 20000 tourists who want to pet whales in a small lagoon! How can that be good? Well, some say that certain species of whales enjoy human contact, and that the 500 million dollars in 65 countries earned in the whale-watching industry will help prevent them  
being killed.
