WHAT TIPS CAN YOU SHARE TO PROMOTE ECOTOURISM & CLIMATE CHANGE?
The tip that I can share to promote ecotourism & climate change is to protect our forest by planting more trees and to create more green spaces in our country.
And, to promote climate change, I would encourage everyone and pressure the politicians to support efforts to cut emissions and reduce carbon pollution. It is by protecting our cities, our forests, and our seas that we will be able to protect our planet before it’s too late.
