Studies has also shown positive effects of ecotourism on mental health. Next, it educates tourists about plants and animals, increasing their awareness of environmental preservation. In addition, it boosts the local economy by attracting more visitors and creating job opportunities.      

There are always cons to everything: one is that ecotourists, who usually travel by plane or car, can incréase greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, ecotourists might harm protected areas by bringing exotic fruits in, picking plants, and leaving trash.
