In a time of heightened awareness about climate change, wildlife conservation, and sustainable living, eco-tourism offers an alternative to mass tourism that emphasizes the preservation of natural habitats, support for local communities, and a deeper connection to the environment. But what exactly is eco-tourism, and why is it becoming such a significant part of the travel landscape #snsinstitution #snsdesignthinking #snsdesignthinkers

Fragile Ecosystems Through Responsible Tourism 🌍 At Wandering Lama, we’re passionate about creating travel experiences that leave the world better than we found it. One of our key commitments is promoting responsible tourism in fragile ecosystems to protect wildlife and natural habitats. Here’s how we do it: 1️⃣ Limiting Overcrowding: We encourage smaller group sizes and manage visitor numbers to avoid overwhelming sensitive ecosystems like coral reefs, rainforests, and wildlife reserves. 2️⃣ Educating Travelers: We provide travelers with guidelines to respect local wildlife, such as avoiding feeding animals, maintaining safe distances, and sticking to designated trails. 3️⃣ Collaborating with Local Communities: We partner with conservation organizations and local communities to ensure tourism supports, rather than harms, efforts to protect endangered species and habitats. 4️⃣ Eco-Friendly Activities: We promote low-impact activities like hiking, kayaking, or snorkeling in ways that preserve the natural environment. 5️⃣ Sustainable Development Contributions: A portion of our profits goes to conservation programs, reforestation projects, and marine habitat restoration efforts. Together, we can explore the world responsibly while protecting its beauty for future generations.

We have now reached the halfway point of our #10Faces campaign, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the DERTOUR Foundation. Story number 5 out of 10 shines a light on the turtle conservation efforts of our partner, DEKAFOK. The Turkish Mediterranean coast, renowned as a popular tourist destination, also serves as a nesting ground for the loggerhead turtle and green sea turtle, two of the seven sea turtle species. Titreyengöl beach, located near the tourist hubs of Antalya and Side, is a significant, albeit unofficial, nesting site for these endangered animals. However, the peak nesting season from May to September coincides with an influx of approximately 400,000 tourists, posing various threats to the turtles. 🐢🌍 During the nesting season, sea turtles face key concerns such as disruption of their natural behavior by tourists, hindrances during egg laying, and threats to eggs and nests from various human activities. In response to these pressing concerns, DEKAFOK has been actively involved in monitoring and protecting turtle eggs and hatchlings on Titreyengöl beach in collaboration with the DERTOUR Foundation since May 2023. 🤝 In an exclusive interview, Prof. Dr. Hakan Sert, a board member of DEKAFOK and faculty member at Akdeniz University, emphasized the critical importance of sustainable tourism. Dr. Sert highlighted the challenges and ongoing efforts, stressing the need for creating a protected area and implementing measures to benefit everyone – people, businesses, and animals, all of which are backed by the DERTOUR Foundation. 🐢🌊 #DERTOURFOUNDATION #DERTOURDMC #TURTLES #SUSTAINABILITY

🌡️Getting closer to the #tourism high season, the Municipalities and the tourism industry are prepared in order to host a high number of visitors in the #Greek coasts. 🌿Unfortunately, most of them believe that getting rid of the precious #Posidonia #banquettes is necessary to improve the quality of the #beaches. However, Posidonia banquettes constitute a valuable habitat for the protection of the coasts. 👉They are the dry leaves of Posidonia meadows, which continue to protect the shores from erosion, produce nutrients and act as temporarily compared to the meadows #blue_carbon sinks! ❌Their removal may be considered necessary to enjoy a "clean" beach, however only poses a threat to on the coastal ecosystem, and in cases where it is carried out with motor vehicles and machines in the shore, it is considered an illegal action that must be reported. ℹ️Learn more about Posidonia banquettes and their role in the Layman’s report "Prioritising Posidonia oceanica meadows in the Ionian Sea" here: https://bit.ly/3GBxEqp
