Ecotourism

BBC - Travel - Underwater volunteer vacations : Eco-tourism

I found so interesting this article about being a tourist and volunteer at the same time.  This innovative program allow some people participate in the scientific research while they are exploring the nature into the ocean.  Many organizations such as Reef Environmental Foundation (REEF), an Australian nonprofit group (DIVO), Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF) and the Hawaii's Kaanapali Makai Watch offer training to volunteers to teach them what they can do during their visit.  Can you imagine having the opportunity to be part of a scientific research, helping and  learning to conserve our planet.  It will be an amazing experience.
Animals, plants and every living thing have a purpose in this world.  Some of them become in our food, others give us oxygen, and others show us its beauty and majesty, making  us feel good and alive, coexisting with them.  It is important to know that we have just one planet where to live and if don't care it, soon, our planet will be disappear and we will with it.


                                                To be a volunteer could change our life

                         Protect our planet is on our hands!
