14.The curiosity about wild animals seems to he imprinted on human
DNA.For a child.wild animals are a thing of wonder,and as we grow older,we hope to see them in the flesh.
While the rich and powerful have collected wild animals for centuries,the concept of the modern zoo dates back to the 18th century,when exotic(異國的)species discovered during European exploration were contained in jails of steel and concrete for the entertainment of a very receptive public.
Times have fortunately changed for the aninal kingdom.a(chǎn)nd as the concept of animals in cages becomes more disgusting,so the wonders of travel provide opportunity to experience them in their natural habitat.
There is simply no comparison to observing creatures in the wild and watching them going about their business in their natural environment.But even low-impact tourism can do harm to wildlife,so where do we draw the line at our interaction?
If it's not managed properly,tourism can have negative impacts (影響) on animal populations and fragile habitats,"says Dermot 0'Gorman,from WWF."Massive influxes (涌入) of tourists"often to a relatively small area,can add to the pollution,waste,and water needs of the local population."
Furthermore,our very presence in a wildlife habitat call impact on animal behaviour,from changing feeding habits to placing them in danger from vehicles.
For many animal lovers,a visit to a wildlife shelter provides the rare opportunity to interact with species on a more intimate level,becoming directly involved in the care and management of animals rescued from poachers,or the wildlife trade.
A recent report by World Animal Protection,however,has placed the spotlight on all animal attraction,suggesting that any hands-on encounter is essentially cruel,and calling on an end to"irresponsible wildlife tourism."
This condemnation follows other responsible tourism companies,such as World Expeditions,banning elephant rides and animal shows from their travel plan,encouraging travellers to instead seek alternatives to wildlife viewing.
