The world has been experiencing a steady increase in temperature. The rate of this increase too is steadily increasing. Ecosystems adjust to these changes.

Usually the time we get as leisure is spent on recreation. It has an important function in our lives. Amidst the stress and strain of modern life, recouping and energizing the body and mind is vital.

Ecotourism is where one visits the natural habitats to enjoy nature. However, there are two kinds of ecotourism in vogue. The first is what has come to be called responsible ecotourism. This is when the visitor is sensitive and respectful to nature and feels socially responsible to protect it.

Within decades of industrialization, the negative impacts have been rapid that today this has become immediate global concern. Some of the issues that are debated and action taken are global warming, loss of biodiversity, the fresh water crisis, climate change, and pollution of water, air and land. Corresponding to the deteriorating environment, there has been an increasing awareness on the crisis as well as the environment. Government initiative, public support and private interest have taken environment to the centre stage. Protection of the remaining natural habitats has become the primary agenda now.
