Will it work???

Hey there, I found an interesting article. It deals with a topic of concern to me and one that probably should be for you too (if you or others plan to live on planet Earth 100 years from now).

Quote:
BUENOS AIRES, Oct 2 (Tierramérica) - In the past 10 years the size of protected areas in Latin America has nearly doubled and the participation of local communities in their preservation and management has sharply increased, says a regional study provided exclusively to Tierramérica.


The report's compiler Castaño Uribe maintains that ecological tourism programmes have been a boon to the notable increase in protected areas over the past five to 10 years, and he believes that the activity could become "an important source of sustainability and financial independence" for those areas.

So come on down! If this is accurate, our methods seem to be working. We won't be getting rich but at least we are protecting the land(and hopefully water).
