By the early 1990's, Central America's highly profitable tourist industry, especially ecotourism, was having obvious negative effects on the region's protected parks and reserves. In response, Paseo Panteo ("Path of the Panther"), a regional wildlands consortium stemming from A.I.D.'s RENARM (Regional Environmental and Natural Resources Management) project, began a program to develop a strategy of sustainable ecotourism for Central America, i.e., tourism that would support the conservation of the protected areas on which tourism depends while remaining economically profitable. This book provides an overview of the multiple issues involved in sustainable ecotourism for all concerned stakeholders -- government officials, protected area managers, local tourism operators, organized labor committees, and community representatives. The subjects discussed include: the status of conservation and ecotourism in Central America; the goals of ecotourism and its impacts on natural resources; the use of tourism to subsidize natural resource conservation; the cultural and socioeconomic impacts of tourism; and planning for tourism development and developing systems for evaluating its impacts.

Operated in: Central America, Chile, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Latin America, Dominican Republic.
Districts, regions and facilities the program's own documents name, with what the document says it did there. Source: sentences in the program's documents
Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province; squares are facilities.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: regional. How the scope was set is not described yet. High confidence.
How sure we are: 0.9.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
