82. Wildlife in Tourism: Melissa Matlow

  • Summary

  • Guys! As many as 550,000 animals are suffering in wildlife tourism worldwide. Many are in captive situations and forced to perform tricks, give people rides, or be handled for selfies.


    This is an area where we actually can make a big impact as an individual consumer by simply choosing not to support those activities.


    You’ll learn how to identify cruel wildlife tourism and what to do instead with Melissa Matlow of World Animal Protection in my interview today.


    We cover:


    • When is Wildlife Tourism Cruel?
    • Travel Companies Who Are Helping
    • Elephant Rides
    • Swim with Dolphins
    • Global Ecotourism Councils
    • Canadian Laws for Wildlife in Tourism
    • Seeing Animals in the Wild
    • Seeing Wildlife with Children
    • Future of Wildlife in Tourism
    • How to Avoid Burnout


    I hope you’ll check it out! And please share with friends in the tourism industry. They can reach out to Melissa to partner and become Wildlife Friendly companies easily!


    Thank you!!
