Do you believe that the animals in these reserves somehow need to work for a living to pay or to have people appreciate either the creation of jobs, as you said, constituency, so that they will be protected and relevant within that ecosystem with the people who are living in conjunction with them. Not all of the world’s animal reserves, national parks, state parks, and protected areas can earn their living through tourism or a part of their living, but wherever they can and it does not adversely affect the wild animals, it’s very valuable to help build an educated constituency. People who see them understand a little more about them, begin to treasure them. So I would argue that where are we can bring in tourism in a positive way, it is definitely something that ought to be done.
