    Ecotourism can be exploited in a sustainable way by educating tourists about protecting the environment, employing and investing in local communities, and using profits to fund conservation efforts and local infrastructure projects. A case study of an ecotourism resort in Costa Rica's Tortuguero Rainforest National Reserve shows how it supports the local economy and environment by having a small number of rooms, employing local staff, and using profits for schools, water, electricity, and forest protection. Ensuring the Amazon's survival requires considering factors like population growth, location in LEDCs, debt, consumerism, and capitalism, as well as supporting fair trade, ecotourism, renewable resources, voluntourism, and conservation research.

    Sustainable Development
    Sustainable Development means.
    Sustainable development is meeting the needs of development today, without compromising future generations, or the environment.

    Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial (mass) tourism. Its purpose may be to educate the traveller, to provide funds for ecological conservation, to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights.

    A Case study example: Ecotourism in Tortuguero Rainforest National Reserve, Costa Rica in Central America
    This is an ecotourism resort in Costa Rica, Central America.
    It has only 20 rooms Surrounded by 500 hectares of protected rainforest. (Thats about
