Participate in ecotourism. The International Ecotourism Society has defined ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people."
- Whereas "regular" tourism tends to cause damage, ecotourism is an educational experience that works to teach individuals, protect lands, and provide monetary support for conservation efforts. Ecotourism provides funding to organizations working to help the rainforest to heal.
