Lesson 3
Module Two: The Savanna Biome Module Two begins our examinations of different biomes and some of the ecotourism opportunities and issues associated with them. In this module we consider the Savanna region of the world, the large grassland plains with small pockets of trees found on most continents.In Lesson Three we consider the theme of wildlife viewing and compare between the comprehensive and minimalist ecotourist. Wildlife viewing is a strong foundation of ecotourism but when it is the sole focus of a tourist activity it may ignore other aspects of the environment. Our focus will be on the African Savanna, an area that is experiencing considerable pressure from habitat loss. These areas are the site of large populations of African megafauna or the large mammals that graze and prey on these plains.Lesson Four considers the management of parks and protected areas. Traditionally, many ecotourism destinations are public areas that offer wildlife and vegetation some protection from human activities. We will consider the various types of parks and protected areas and the role they play in both conservation and tourism. In our case study of the Savanna, you will examine the issues of multi-use and the demands on space and wildlife from farming, hunting and ecotourism. |

    Ecotourism has the ability through its economic benefits to increase conservation, improve the economic well-being of local communities and national governments and educate people on the threats facing fragile environments around the world. However, ecotourism is not without its drawbacks and ill-managed and uncontrolled tourism can impact badly on wildlife and protected areas. In this assignment I will aim to look at the relationship between people and ecotourism and analyse the benefits and weaknesses that they both have on each other.…

    a) The opening Act of King Lear evidently portrays Lear’s downward movement as it coincides with Aristotle’s structure of Greek tragedy. The play begins with Lear, a hero of noble birth and ruler of Britain, in an ordered society soon to be disrupted by a fatal flaw that is the result of his excessive pride. His journey from the ordered to the disordered world becomes apparent after he hands his land over to his two elder daughters and banishes his youngest daughter Cordelia from the kingdom. The initial situation began when Lear asks Cordelia, “What can you say to draw / A third more opulent than your sisters?” (I i 87-88), in which she answers “Nothing, my lord” (I i 89). This demonstrates Lear’s arrogance and triggers the rash decision he makes that would greatly impact the tragic events that follow. At the end of the scene, his two elder daughters immediately work to conspire against him so that he would be left with no power at all. Goneril says to Regan that they “must do something, and i’ th’ heat” (I ii 311). This foreshadows Lear’s impending downward movement and begins the reversal of his fortunes as things go from bad to worse. Lear’s recognition of the truth and the existence of his tragic circumstance becomes slightly clear to him when he wonders whether he has lost his mind and cries out “O let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven!” (I v 46). Act I leaves off at this stage where Lear is about to suffer tremendously before further stages of recognition, retribution, and restitution occur later in the play.…

    In a study on the impact of tourist vehicles on the Maasai Mara Reserve in Kenya carried out in 1990, it was discovered that for the cheetah, it rarely fed during peak driving hours; furthermore, it waked off when any vehicle approached closer than 21 meters. When the lion was investigated, its peak feeding hours was when the tourists’ vehicles went back to their lodges for launch or to rest; it also fed early during the morning and late during the evening in areas most frequently visited by tourists. In another case, when the lions were surrounded by tourists’ vehicles who were trying to get good shots of them, they did not show much concern, but for the cheetah, it increased its walking pace when the vehicles were few, the leopard was mostly on the trees but if on the ground, it would walk away quickly. It was concluded that vehicles were interfering with animal activity, and particularly their mobility. This restricted movement would interfere with activities like searching for prey, mating and taking cover. (Gakahu, 1992) (Gakahu, Chris G. (Ed.). 1992b. Tourist Attitudes and Use Impacts in Maasai Mara National Reserve [Kenya]. Wildlife Conservation International, Nairobi, Kenya) Other cases of disturbances were observed in birds such as the flamingoes. Consumption of wildlife by tourists could have a great impact on the local population.…
