Eco friendly resorts preserve biodiversity in wild life park

Quito, Ecuador -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/15/2013 -- The Amazon Basin rainforests are the world' s most exciting places with a rich biodiversity unequalled in its sheer variety of flora and fauna besides the incredibly majestic and ocean like water body that is the stately and untamable Amazon River. Worshipped by the ethnic Indian tribals, revered by tourists, travelers, and environmentalists and nature lovers, the mighty river surges, unmindful of the mud mounds that hamper its inexorable course. The water is mud brown on account of the ceaseless deforestation due to felling of trees for commerce making it look from the air like the Great Wall of China.

The Cuyabeno Wild Life Reserve that sprawls over a vast expense of lush virgin rain forests is the home of one of the richest biodiversity now in existence in Ecuador. The verdant rain forest reserve with its wealth of rare flora and fauna has a green cover of more than 6, 00,000 hectares. The Reserve Park is unique in more respects than one. The park abounds with lakes and navigable creeks and canoeing down the beautiful Cuyabeno River is an exhilarating experience not only for its proximity to the great Andes but also because of the uniqueness of the river itself. Almost all the tributaries of the Amazon are so wide that it is impossible for a tourist trekking in the forest to see the other bank, inducing a feeling of not being inside a jungle. But the Cuyabeno River is narrow and as it meanders down the Amazon basin; both the banks are visible giving the distinct feel of being in the forest, among the trees. The Cuyabeno Reserve houses the richest biodiversity one can come across in a protected park.

There are about 580 registered species of birds including the exotically colored parakeets. Water bodies in the park are infested with dangerous crocodiles. Predators like jaguars, anacondas, boa constrictors, and pumas among other carnivores can be spotted easily.

Tourism is naturally a flourishing trade in the Reserve. There is strict control and supervision on tour operators and the many lodges that offer tourist facilities down the river and near the lagoons. Cuyabeno Lodge and Cuyabeno Ecuador provide both lodging and boarding facilities. Jamu Lodge is situated down the river near the Laguna Grande and is a comfortable place to stay with nine cabanas and a spacious dining room that is the hub of all activity.

Cuyabeno River Basin provides comfort and leisure to tourists

Reina Victoria, Quito -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2013 -- Tourism is a fall out of man's inexhaustible wander lust and unquenchable thirst to see and experience new pastures and life styles. Exotic and distant lands have always intrigued the human nature and mysterious forests, majestic mountains, and the roar of the cascading cataract have constantly haunted the mind of man from time immemorial. Modern day tourism and the modern tourists have undergone radical transformation from the loose footed traveler of yesterday. Today's tourism is an entirely new proposition with all the frills and other paraphernalia of modern day living. Tourism is big business now looked after by large players in the field and managed professionally like any other mega business.

In the din of modern life, the feeble voice of environmentalists and the dedication of a handful of activists worldwide have survived and the result is – responsible tourism and eco tourism- the two concepts that has sustained earth's bounties so far. Eco tourism is a form of tourism encompassing the entire biodiversity of a fragile, pristine, and untouched natural area and is maintained on a low scale as opposed to the high and damaging impact of the conventional type. Eco tourism involves strict guidelines and procedures to negate or at least minimize the adverse effects of conventional tourism. Some countries have their own accreditation system for eco tourism. There are procedures to monitor and evaluate a tourism company's interaction with local natural and cultural resources and its contribution towards the betterment of the local community's life.

Responsible tourism and eco tourism are two sides of a single coin. Responsible tourism is not just another form of tourism but is rapidly becoming a worldwide phenomenon. It involves participation of local people and integrating local culture and customs and practices in tourism activities. Though it is not another form of niche tourism, it is a distinct tourism practice that has the preservation of local culture along with the environment as the core objective.

The Cuyabeno Wild Life Reserve in Cuyabeno Ecuador is a 6, 00,000 odd hectare rain forest reserve on the Amazon basin and has a rich bio diversity that still remains pristine and unexploited by commercial tourism. Its uniqueness is its proximity to the beautiful Andes and is blessed with sparkling streams and navigable creeks. The distinguishing feature that sets the Cuybeno River from the other major branches of the Amazon river is that while both the banks of the great Amazon cannot be seen by a trekker, Cuyabeno banks are visible which gives them a feel of the forest.

Jamu Lodge provides comfortable lodging down the Cuyabeno River very near the exotic Laguna Grande. The management practices a policy of eco tourism that has minimal impact on the environment. Waste is recycled and solar energy is the main source of electricity.
