The Rainforest can offer a vacation experience like nowhere else on the planet.  Beautiful rivers, magnificent trees, giant ferns are found in these unique areas.  Tourism can help to provide sustainable income for Rainforest countries. Costa Rica is an example of a country that is starting to develop a tourism economy.  Many beautiful, clear lagoons are kept that way because of the Rainforest.  By using these lagoons for tourism countries can help to create their own sustainable income. Recreation is an important aspect in our lives, and we need to respect that. Recreation can help us protect and conserve the rainforests.

Providing recreation is also a great way to provide education so people can learn about the rainforest and its rapid destruction, as they slowly learn they start to find ways to stop its destruction. The rainforest can be helped in many ways, and recreation is definitely one of them.

One of the few negative actions to the rainforest from people’s recreational needs is the trees cut down to make parking lots etc. for the national parks built. Recreation into the rainforest also interrupts the wildlife cycles.

There are groups of people like boy scouts who try their best to create organizations for conservation. The rainforest plays a big part in our recreational needs.  Since people as well as zoos, companies, and museums all want plants, animals, and trees to add some excitement to their homes, offices, or exhibits there is a big impact on the rainforests.  Many zoos and companies pay top dollars to capture exotic animals such as birds and reptiles.  Some plants are used for medicine, and some plants along with animals are presented to judges in shows.  Golf is another form of recreation that is harmful to the rainforest.  Some golf balls are made from materials in the rainforest.  Golfers need to be aware of where their golf balls are made and what they are made of.

Going to the zoo is a recreational need for us, but did you ever take the time to think of where those animals originally came from?   Zoos pay people to capture live and exotic animals to put on display.  Many of these animals come from the rainforests.  This serves as a recreation to us, but by taking animals from their homes in the rainforest it upsets the balance in the ecosystem. 

Some pets also come from the rainforests.  Lots of people who buy parrots, lizards, and monkeys from pet stores are also buying animals that used to live in the rainforest.  If people stop buying rainforest pets, you won’t be removing animals from their ecosystem and you won’t be unbalancing the ecosystem.

Tourism in the rainforest is also a form of recreation.  River boat tours are one example of recreation that is not environmentally safe!  The river boats that carry the tourists along the river spill oil and fuel into the water and cause pollution, which kills a lot of fish and other animals that live in the rivers.  The tourists on the boat also pollute the rivers and do not help the environment by doing so!  They are messy and dump trash and other waste into the river.
