Natural vegetati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> the animals<br />
On a world scale, natural vegetati<strong>on</strong> changes from the equator to the polar regi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
<strong>and</strong> so do the animals. Nowadays, observati<strong>on</strong> of natural vegetati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> animals in<br />
their natural habitats is increasingly popular am<strong>on</strong>g tourists. For instance, many<br />
tourists go to the Amaz<strong>on</strong> mainly to see <strong>and</strong> experience its rich<br />
rainforest <strong>and</strong> wildlife.<br />
Presence of man<br />
Human activities such as agricultural <strong>and</strong> forestry practices have greatly modified<br />
much of the natural vegetati<strong>on</strong>. Human interacti<strong>on</strong> with the natural features of the<br />
l<strong>and</strong> has created a variety of cultural l<strong>and</strong>scapes across the world. These different<br />
l<strong>and</strong>scapes are also key types of attracti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
