Possible Roles for Ecotrackerson the Rio Aguarico.

Bethany Hoye & Andrew Glover
June 2006

We feel that the role of Ecotrackers should not simply be to equip these communities for ecotourism, but to equip them for sustainable living more generally. Possible avenues for this could include:

  • Education of the ramifications of having such large families, with such a short generational gap, and perhaps introducing some contraception alternatives
  • A major sustainable agriculture education program, including concepts of: integrating small agricultural plots within the forest; crop rotation; fallow fields; and inappropriate crops
  • Education about ‘island biogeography’, conservation reserve design, and the impacts of fragmenting the native landscape
  • Emphasising the value of cultural heritage and diversity in all communities
  • Reconsidering the power alternatives for Amada Encarnacion
  • Promoting sustainable energy production and use within communities
  • Education of communities and Amada Encarnacion employees/volunteers about appropriate short and long-term solutions to rubbish and human waste disposal
