The Ecotourism Game
No to ecotourism development.
Tourists continue to come to your community, curious to seehow Quichua people live. They are usually brought by guides who are notfamiliar with the Quichua and who do not respect Quichua culture. They shootbirds and animals, which are becoming increasingly rare. They stare andtake photographs of you. People in Pangayacu are getting angry. They don'tlike feeling like animals in a zoo.
