Abstract

Birdwatching and ecological tourism. Birdwatching is practiced little in Brazil, because there are various impediments to its expansion, such as the infra-structure required, the deficiency of guides for the purpose, and mainly the lack of initiative in the educational ambit. However, this activity has a high potential for touristic attraction, essentially in tropical countries where the bird diversity is very great, and once exploited has the capacity to bring an expressive economic return, in addition to being a tool for enviromental education and the conservation of biodiversity.
