Definition of Ecotourism
If you are someone who is interested in taking some time away from the daily grind, you may find that ecotourism is perfect for you! At the most basic level, ecotourism can be defined as a method of travel and recreation that does not harm and in fact helps the environment. The Nature Conservancy and World Conservation Union has formally defined the practice of ecotourism as needing to be "Environmentally responsible travel to natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature (and accompanying cultural features, both past and present) that promote conservation, have a low visitor impact and provide for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local peoples."

Caligo Ventures has lots of exciting birding tours coming up in 2009. We like the fact that Caligo makes a point of using local naturalist guides in the host country. In March, they are offering a birdwatching trip to the Panama Canal Area and the Western Highlands. The trip offers chances to see the Resplendent Quetzal and the Scintillant Hummingbird, among scores of other species. It should be quite an experience to stay in the Canopy Tower Lodge, where birders often see the Green Shrike-vireo and the stunning Blue Cotinga.
