CONSERVATION TIPS

  • Many wild animals are now threatened or endangered because of international trade. Stop by the Customs House and see confis­cated items illegally, made from our wondrous wildlife.

  • Don't buy ivory. Plastics, resins, and even a very hard white nut can be fashioned into jewelry and other items once made from ivory.

  • Primates do not make good pets and are illegal in many areas. Ecotourism helps bring hard currency to developing countries.

  • Ecotourists like you who choose their destinations for their nat­ural beauty, have a large impact on countries with large wildlife population.

  • Ecotourism makes certain species more valuable alive than dead.

  • The way you live at home does influence the world. Support and participate in non-consumptive uses of wildlife such as bird watching, nature photography and scuba diving.

  • Create conditions in your yard that will benefit birds, insects and plants. Reduce or eliminate your use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

  • Plant trees and bushes.
