SABACHE IS DEDICATED TO PROTECTING FRAGILE LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS AND CULTURE

The biologically richest ecosystems on earth are also the most threatened. As tourism increases in wilderness areas, fragile ecosystems can be threatened through increased ecological pressure and environmental damage. In contrast, responsible tourism, when carefully planned and implemented, can help protect natural areas and provide sustainable economic alternatives for people living with wildlife in sensitive ecosystems. It also allows travelers opportunities to learn about traditional indigenous cultures and conservation initiatives.

Ecotourism is defined as:

"Environmentally responsible travel to natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature and cultural features that promote conservation, have a low visitor impact and provide for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local peoples."
-The World Conservation Union (IUCN)
