The Foundation
�When then Premier of NSW, the Hon Tom Lewis M

organisation, constituted m

of the Foundation for National Parks & W
ildlife
in 1970.
�Today the Foundation continues the tradition of growing
parksand caring for them and the species that inhabit
them.

Travelers Philanthropy -Ethiopa
�Tour operators are including visits to conservation and
community development projects
in their itineraries.
�Travelers can donate to and visit local communitiesthat
are w

degraded land. Visitors can book a trip through one of
their partnering tour operators
and request that the
itinerary includes a visit to one/both of the project sites.
�There are two w
ays to give–directly to the responsible
non-profits
that have been vetted through the fund or on
the Global Giving w
ebsite. e.g. plant a tree in a village
or provide an energy saving stove to a family.

Tauern National Park, Austria and the Endangered
Rock Partridge Case Study
�The 'two-edged' e
ffect of ecotourism
, whereby visitors provide
revenues for costly conservation efforts,
whilst at the same tim
e
potentially affecting endangered species, can be m
anaged to
ensure species' population levels are not affected.
�Three types of measureswere specifically highlighted by the
mathematical model:
�visitor control limiting visitors
�habitat conservation m
easures, i.e. expanding buffer zo
nes
or creating quiet zo
nes with the help of signposts, and
�species conservation m
easures, such as species restocking.

�Demonstrated opportunitiesare now readily available for
industry participation.
�With an increasing level of promotion of ‘nature based’tourism
