DOWNLOAD EBOOKA birder's history of one of Canada's most famous birding spots Birding at Point Pelee traces Point Pelee's story from the 1870s, to the national park's establishment in 1918, to present day, when as many as 50,000 birders visit the park in May during spring migration. The book portrays the backdrop against which the park was evolving, the scientific discoveries and changes in ornithological methods through the decades -- early specimen-collecting, bird banding, the development of binoculars and telescopes, the growth of nature photography, the shift from birding as science to birding as hobby -- as well as philosophical shifts and debates about amateur versus professional credentials, and the balance to strike between conservation and recreation. Thoroughly researched and lively, the story takes readers from the earliest days, when the birders were few but fervent, to today's international tourism phenomenon.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEcotourism is recognized as a distinct form of tourism because it links low impacts on the resource base and host community, environmental conservation, sustainable economic activity, and distinctive behaviour and learning by the consumer. It is practised in many countries, perhaps most evidently in developing nations such as Costa Rica, Thailand, and Nepal. This document presents a context for ecotourism. It discusses ecotourism in Canada, establishing codes for ecotourism, and the scope for public policy.
