Sustainable tourism in Nicaragua

The land bridge connecting North and South America is under severe environmental threat. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Americas. This, added to a lack of proper environmental education, has caused continuous deforestation of precious tropical forests and hunting of wild animals, some currently endangered. Poaching of wild birds and animals, illegal hunting, pollution, disregard for ocean and river setbacks by developers and subdivision of real estate into smaller and smaller lots are all significant problems as well. Apathy, corruption, lack of education and awareness aggravate the situation even more. With such a complex problem being deeply rooted in challenging cultural and social conditions, change will be gradual at its best. While immediate action can delay or prevent some of the direct consequences of deforestation, it is education, conscience raising and role modeling that can serve as the cornerstones of changing this destructive cycle. Morgan’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge wants to make its contribution in changing this cycle. Not only do we wish to offer a great vacation experience but also make the project a model for the local community, helping them understand how conservation can improve their lives and meet their economic needs.

How about a natural history tour that visits 6 distinct ecosystems and 9 nature reserves? For those who love nature and want to enjoy it with the peace and quiet of wilderness, not with a crowd of tourists, the Nicaragua Natural History Expedition is a must journey. This natural history trip takes the ecological traveler to tropical dry forest reserves, cloud forest reserves, coastal mangroves reserves, volcano forest reserves, gallery forest and wetland reserves. Nicaragua Nature Expedition is diverse wilderness flora and fauna.
