4. Impact on Fauna and Flora


The eco-tourists disturb fauna and flora. Eco-tourists believe that because they are only taking pictures and leaving footprints, they keep eco-tourism sites pristine, but even harmless sounding activities such as a nature hike can be ecologically destructive. Where the eco-tourism activity involves wildlife viewing, it can scare away animals, disrupt their feeding and nesting sites.


Now as the economy is going for a process of reforms, many of these problems are being attended by the government with differing levels of success. As the process of economic reforms gets success, we may hope for the success of the industrial complexes in India, too.
