Tourism and recreational potential in Solomon Islands exceeding the benefits of logging sector

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Most of the area in Solomon Islands is covered by tropical forests, possessing abundant diversity of endemic animal species (Solomon eagle, Red-knobbed Imperial Pigeon) and native plants (orchids, begonias, palms). Many of these unique species are endangered due to unsustainable logging practices over the last decades. This paper emphasizes the long-term benefits of recreational and ecotourism functions of forests exceeding the current value of timber for export. Logging sector, as the main economic driver in Solomon Islands today, has very negative impacts on ecosystem and may cause irreversible loss of forests in the forthcoming future. The change can be achieved by promoting successful models of ecotourism, such as conservation projects in Tetepare Island or Kolombangara. Replacement of short-term economic benefits by long-term benefits of ecotourism is a necessary step to protect the precious forests and to attract the local and foreign tourists to Solomon Islands.
