Article content In a March 7, 2021 article in the New York Times, Lisa W. Foderaro writes that after authorities in Thailand banned international flights because of the COVID-19 pandemic, “… leatherback turtles laid their eggs on the usually mobbed Phuket Beach … the first time nests were seen there in years, as the endangered sea turtles, the largest in the world, prefer to nest in seclusion.” If that’s the good news, unfortunately it doesn’t get better. Nature tourism has long been touted as a benign force for conservation. Developing countries bought in to the so-called “ecotourism” explosion back in the early 1990s, with the full encouragement and participation of the hotel and air travel corporations. Since then, destinations have needed to use tourism revenue to offset the costs of conservation and enforcement. That revenue has dried up over the last year, and in many cases so have the conservation activities that all those nature tourists had supported.
