still require hopping on a plane or getting in
the car, there are plenty of destinations to
visit that can contribute to saving the environment.
We've picked out the top choices for ecotourism destinations throughout the world.
Not only are these spots home to some of
the rarest species of plants and animals,
but a visit to them could help preserve their
beauty for years to come.
