Filed to:eco tourism Image: Sailaway Port Douglas Australia is renowned worldwide for its natural wonders. So it’s no surprise that we’ve always had a thriving tourism scene as visitors from far and wide journey to see the local wildlife and scenery. The catch-22 of this situation is that while tourism fuels the economy, it’s no secret that humans have a massive negative impact on the environment. Most of the time this impact comes down to human negligence. You only have to look at the sheer amount of plastic that is found throttling wildlife in the ocean or the irreversible damage that has been done to Uluru after years of human climbing to see the damaging effect humans can have on the sites they travel so far to see.
