As many as 550,000 animals are suffering in wildlife tourism worldwide. Many are in captive situations and forced to perform tricks, give people rides, or be handled for selfies.
We can actually help these animals by simply choosing not to support these activities. If you work in the travel industry, you can eliminate these offerings all together.
You’ll learn how to identify cruel wildlife tourism and what to do instead with Melissa Matlow of World Animal Protection Canada in my interview today.
We cover:
* When is Wildlife Tourism Cruel?
* Travel Companies Who Are Helping
* Elephant Rides
* Swim with Dolphins
* Global Ecotourism Councils
* Canadian Laws for Wildlife in Tourism
* Seeing Animals in the Wild
* Seeing Wildlife with Children
* Future of Wildlife in Tourism
* How to Avoid Burnout
I hope you’ll check it out! And please share with friends in the tourism industry. They can reach out to Melissa to partner and become Wildlife Friendly companies easily!
Thank you!!
