Ecotourism in the Amazon rainforest

Ecotourism is when people visit natural places like the Amazon Rainforest in order to learn about the environment and to help protect it. People who do ecotourism go to natural places like the Amazon Rainforest to take pictures, learn about different plants and animals, and may even help support projects that help protect the rainforest. Ecotourism helps by bringing money to local communities in the Amazon, which helps them do more to protect the rainforest and their own way of life. People who go to the Amazon to do ecotourism help make sure that the rainforest is kept safe, and that its plants and animals are looked after.
