Area of Science:

  • Conservation Biology
  • Ecosystem Management
  • Human Dimensions of Ecology

Background:

  • Global change leads to decreased ecological integrity and fragmented landscapes, threatening biodiversity.
  • Human population growth and land use changes impact natural habitats.
  • Temporary human movements, like recreation and tourism, have significant conservation implications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how recreation and tourism can enhance landscape-scale conservation efforts.
  • To demonstrate the role of ecotourism in habitat protection and biodiversity preservation.
  • To highlight the economic and ecological benefits of integrating recreational activities with land management.

Main Methods:

  • Case study analysis of three examples where recreation/tourism supports conservation.

  • Examining the role of ecotourism in protecting shorebird migratory stopover habitats.
  • Investigating the use of riparian habitats as ecological corridors and biodiversity hotspots.
  • Assessing the remediation and redevelopment of contaminated lands for recreational use.

    • Main Results:

    • Ecotourism can catalyze landscape-scale habitat protection, crucial for species like migratory shorebirds.
    • Riparian zones function as vital corridors linking habitats and supporting biodiversity.
    • Recreational development on uncontaminated portions of remediated lands offers economical redevelopment with minimal risk.
    • Undisturbed ecosystems on historical sites, like US Department of Energy lands, can be preserved through recreational integration.

    Conclusions:

    • Judicious development of recreational and tourist interests promotes habitat conservation and wise management on a landscape scale.
    • Ecotourism contributes to regional economies, influencing land and biodiversity protection.
    • Integrating human dimensions, such as recreation, is key to sustainable land preservation and biodiversity protection.
