Discovering the Best Ecotourism Destinations

In today’s world, there’s a growing interest in exploring new avenues that align with environmental consciousness, and this extends to travel experiences as well.
Ecotourism, a unique style of travel, focuses on sustainability and embracing nature’s wonders without causing harm.

For instance, you might embark on a hiking expedition, contribute to wildlife preservation efforts, or explore the beauty of a national park.
If you’re intrigued by the idea of becoming an ecotourist, it’s essential to know where to begin. Luckily, Forbes has curated a list of the most outstanding destinations for ecotourism enthusiasts.

Forbes’ evaluation is based on insights gathered from travelsafe-abroad.com, initially assessing countries considered safe for travellers.
The assessment then shifted to ranking countries based on diverse factors, including wildlife diversity, the count of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, air quality, and more.

Claiming the top spot is Brazil

A title well-deserved with its remarkable assortment of over 43,000 distinct animal and plant species. The Brazilian landscape encompasses around 60% of the Amazon Rainforest, and the country proudly hosts eight UNESCO Natural World Heritage Sites, including the awe-inspiring Iguazu National Park.

However, it’s important to note that ecotourism isn’t solely focused on wildlife experiences. Forbes’ evaluation also factored in the extent of land conservation in various countries. Bhutan leads the pack in this arena, dedicating nearly 50% of its land for conservation purposes. Following closely, Brunei and Zambia secured the second and third positions respectively for their commendable efforts in land preservation.
