IMPACT OF TOURISM BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN PARKS AND WILDLIFE: BASIS FOR IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Abstract

This study focuses on the positive effects of implementing an improvement plan for conserving parks and wildlife. Using a qualitative approach, the researchers conducted a survey among 80 respondents to identify areas that require improvement. The findings of this study will benefit both local tourists and residents by enhancing their experiences and increasing awareness of environmental conservation. Additionally, the study aims to mitigate the negative effects of human activities on parks and wildlife. It recommends that tourists and nearby residents be equipped with sufficient knowledge on environmental protection and conservation to ensure long-term sustainability and benefits for all. The study examines traveler behavior and its impact on conservation efforts in parks and wildlife areas. The researchers conducted surveys to assess visitor interactions with the environment and their adherence to responsible tourism practices. The study also explores how tourists contribute to conservation efforts through their actions and expenditures. The study evaluates the effectiveness of conservation measures implemented in ecotourism sites, including protected area management, habitat restoration, and community-based conservation initiatives. By comparing biodiversity data from within and outside protected areas, the researchers assess the impact of different management approaches on biodiversity conservation. Tourism biodiversity enhancement strategies involve identifying key ecosystems, species, and habitats that require protection. The researchers conducted surveys and biodiversity assessments to determine areas most vulnerable to tourism activities and prioritize conservation efforts. Sustainable tourism practices, such as ethical wildlife observation, waste management programs, and habitat restoration projects, are recommended. Additionally, this study highlights opportunities for ecotourism, which promotes nature-based experiences while supporting conservation programs and local communities.
