Info

• Eco-labels may focus on certain environmental aspects of the product. Eg: energy consumption, water use, source of timber etc. • Government backing for eco-labeling schemes is essential. • Almost all international eco-labeling schemes require government funding and support. They may encompass the multiple environmental aspects Eco-labeling Programs • The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC); • The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC); • Germany‟s Blue Angel program; • Fair-trade Labeling Organizations International (FLO); and • The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). <strong>Ecotourism</strong> On-line Resources www.ecotourism.org or www.ecotourism.cc or www.responsibletravel.com 40
Unit 6: <strong>Ecotourism</strong> and the Environment 6.1 Linking conservation and community Why linkage? • One of the principles of conservation biology is that human presence must be included in conservation planning. Any conservation efforts that do not account for humans (either as the cause of the problem or part of the solution) are doomed to fail. Humans are part of the problem, but we are also part of the solution (a better one for us) • CBD also recognises the need of conservation – community linkages. • The principle of contemporary conservation practices is based on at least „do no harm‟ to local people. • In a democratic society; it would be increasingly difficult to get political support if conservation cannot gain popular approval. • Moral, socio-political, economic, and environmental reasons. Need of C-C linkages • To utilise communities‟ conservation knowledge and traditions • To recognise legitimate traditional rights • To minimise/manage negative impacts • To expand conservation activities in the larger area. • To improve cooperation and reduce conflict • To share conservation benefits • To increase political/public support for conservation • To generate fund for conservation • To reduce conservation costs and increases conservation efficiency. Opportunities • Both in develop and developing world local constituencies are vital for sustainable conservation. • Studies suggest that people are not against park. They are only unhappy with the approach of park management. • There is a growing realization that the cost of protection has been largely skewed towards local communities and that such unfair distribution of cost and benefits should be minimized. 41
