What's new May 12, 2008
Just added a luxury tent camping site in Jamaica.
To go to their site: Camp
Cabarita or see them in the Jamaica
Eco Lodges.
Jem Winston of Rosalie
Forest Eco Lodge and half of 3 Rivers
Dominica is looking for partners. If
you'd like to own a little slice of paradise (there are only
30 shares so you might want to act quickly) you can contact
him at: jem@rosalieforest.com.
Small world and all, a friend put me in touch
with a guy who runs ecotours in Tanzania. We must both have
the same vision about butterflies! His operation looks first
class and I've added a link in the Ecotours
& More page. To
go directly to his site: Butterfly
Adventure.
In the 1970's I visited Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.
I'm very pleased to be adding Laguna
Lodge Eco-Resort & Nature Reserve, which is right on
the lake. To see their listing on this site: Guatemala
Eco Lodges.
I've just added a rammed earth Homestay in Kerala,
India. To visit this site: Le
reve or to see this listing on this site: India
Homestays.
Off the coast of Belize is Turneffe Atoll. Turneffe
Flats, in
the Atoll, has just been added. To go to their website: Turneffe
Flats or to see their listing on this site: Belize
Eco Hotels.
I got an email today from Ginger at Northside
Valley in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She heard that
mango trees are the best trees to plant to reduce carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere and she's putting that information to good
use. Read about it: Northside
Valley "Eco" page or on my Eco
Blog.
I have just added a link for Conservation
International on the bottom right
hand side of this page where you can sign a petition to stop
the clock on species extinction. Animals have no voice in how
our world is run, but we do. It is our responsibility to protect
them. The embedded link did not work, so for now I've just
added a link.
Cascadas Farallas Resort and Villas has
just been added to the Costa
Rica page. Waterfalls surround
the villas. To go directly to their site:Cascadas
Farallas in Costa Rica.
A more traditional looking hotel has just been
added to the Jamaica
Hotels. It is Village Hotel located in
the heart of Ocho Rios, Jamaica. To go to their site: Village
Hotel in Jamaica.
Cotococha Amazon Lodge in the
Amazon of Ecuador has just been added. To visit their site: Cotococha
Amazon Lodge in Ecuador or to see them on this site: Ecuador
Eco Hotels.
 The
Butterfly Club is moving
forward and I've added a link to the left navigation bar where
all the lodges that have filled out the Eco Questionnaire
are listed. There is also a link by each Butterfly
Club member's lodge to the same information. The questionnaire
is an attempt to make sure that lodges listed here
are indeed practicing sustainable tourism. It also gives you
a chance to see what each lodge actually does to promote eco-tourism.
Hopefully this is all leading towards a type of Eco
Certification program. At the least, it's another
tool to help inquiring minds determine which lodges practice
sustainability.
