A brilliant talk. I retired 2 years ago from a career in protected areas management. Eco tourism may not solve all problems facing many communities but it can be a win win for both the local economy and local environment.
Natalia, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the World and seeking to support bird tourism to continue protecting birds and the environment!! Greetings from El Color de Mis Rêves in Colombia! Natalia gracias por compartir con el Mundo tu conocimiento y el buscar que apoyen el turismo de aves para continuar protegiendo las aves y el medio ambiente!! Un saludo desde El Color de Mis Rêves en Colombia!
Eco Tourism is definitely a necessity for protecting ecosystems and uplifting small communities💚 However, it should be a supplemental economic model where possible as any tourism industry is reliant on people coming to you. Covid-19 was a prime example of what happens when no one can travel! 😕
Very well said Natalia, we are in central India jungles and attempting deep ecotourism initiatives in our pursuit for conservation, community and culture.
Very good presentation. Natalia. I enjoyed listening to the sound of birds. I love nature and appreciate its beauty. ❤ My children were birdwatching here in Colorado. Biodiversity is beautiful! There are many conservation efforts all over the world and some birds, local and migratory, are among the endangered species. Those of us who grew up close to nature may just be used to paying more attention to our environment and the impact of changes in climate, air quality, etc. Hopefully, with the extensive conservation efforts, things in our environment will change for the better. 😊
Great talk, Natalia. Judy and I travel for birding several times a year, usually to tropical countries, and we have benefitted from the knowledge of local guides. (We have even traveled with you, to the Dominican Republic in 2015.)
This video is one stape towards new profession of bird guide along with conservation stape with earning in local home area with connection with all Birders throughout the world and self satisfaction of doing something to Nature in our lifetime...I Liked ...
I loved this. I enjoyed bird-watching tourism in costa rica recently and loved being able to support local birding guides while fulfilling my desire to see and photograph some amazing birds. Natalia, where did you get that dress? :)
Harness your passion for conservation and sustainability to create meaningful change. By valuing local knowledge and supporting eco-friendly tourism, you can protect endangered species and uplift tropical communities. Bird watching tourism exemplifies this, transforming lives by placing economic value on ecological expertise and fostering environmental stewardship. Choose to travel responsibly, supporting local guides and preserving natural habitats, and together, we can bridge global divides to protect our planet's biodiversity.

Wonderful video! Birdwatching changed my life!
I'm so glad I was able to work with you at UCSC, so cool seeing you do a Ted talk.

Protect the Nature is very important nowadays.

Amazing information explained in such simple words
Muchas gracias por la charla, es excelente e inspiradora. ¿Hay versión en español? A ratos un videito como este puede ayudar a inspirar nuevos guías ❤

I have a similar story with a local fisherman who use to eat one species of rare duck and now he protects them.
