What’s your eco-travel tale?
Everyone brings back stories of awe and beauty, and refreshing memories from a visit to the Himalayas, an ecosystem both magnificent and endangered by uncontrolled tourism and the subsequent damage it brings in its wake.
If you have had an unusual journey, with interesting, practical ways of how you travelled eco-friendly, we invite you to share your experiences in not more than 1200 words. Perhaps your story could add to efforts in conserving this irreplaceable mountain system.
Send in your evocative stories to ‘EcoTrail’, the WWF-India – Lonely Planet Magazine (India) Travelogue Contest by September 30, 2010, and stand a chance to win exciting prizes and get your story published in India’s renowned travel magazine, Lonely Planet.
 
NATURE LEAVES A MARK ON YOU, DON’T LEAVE ONE BEHIND!
The majestic Himalayas, teeming with biodiversity and precious high altitude wetlands are under grave threat from uncontrolled and unsustainable tourism. In order to reduce these impacts on the fragile ecosystem, WWF-India initiated the Green Hiker campaign in 2009, aimed at raising awareness about the vulnerability of the Himalayan ecosystem and promoting ‘responsible tourism’ in the region, targeting tourists and service providers in the industry.
EcoTrail is the one of many activities under the Green Hiker campaign. Participate and through your words, help save our towering giants!
Join the campaign and spread the message of conservation at www.wwfindia.org/greenhiker
