\"Ecotourism<\/a><\/p>\n

Wildlife populations are suffering death by a thousand cuts<\/a> as a result of human activities. Wildlife are being hunted, fished, and poached. They are suffering from climate change and pollution. Diseases take their toll, as do newly invasive species. They are also being fragmented as a function of increased habitat destruction.<\/p>\n

These are obvious culprits of environmental disruption. But there is one realm where we may be having an unanticipated impact on wildlife: nature-based tourism.<\/p>\n

It is possible that our increasing penchant for nature tourism is making wildlife in these areas more vulnerable to predators. Unfortunately, we don\u2019t yet have enough data to properly assess this risk.<\/p>\n
