The cover feature of the summer issue of The Wildlife Professional digs into the nuances of ecotourism. Associate editor Joshua Learn traveled to South Texas to experience ecotourism firsthand, learning about successful models of tourism on private ranches popular with birders and hunters. He also delves into some of the shortcomings and limits of ecotourism, like in Costa Rica, where unchecked development has caused an imbalance in ecological relationships between predators and prey.
Other articles in this issue cover an interdisciplinary project outline for educators to create state symbols, career training on private cattle ranches in South Texas, celebrating two decades of the national Geographic Photo Ark, The Wildlife Society’s work as a supporting partner of the UN Decade, and much more.
