A1: Probably my stay at a lodge in the Peruvian Amazon that had a monkey rehab clinic onsite. Many monkeys had run of the accommodation site and I became friends with an orphaned spider monkey who used to take my hand and lead me on walks down the garden path #ttot
A1 The most incredible wildlife adventure has to be watching the great wildebeest migration in #Kenya. Choose a safaris with Eco warrior awards by Ecotourism Kenya. https://t.co/qmh1OwOd0l #ttot
Ok, there’s a Jason joke in here, I just know it.

A1 Hiking to Charlton Lake that had no road in Oregon. I was following the trail around a curve & came face to face with a doe. We both froze & looked at each other for what seemed like eternity. Then like magic she suddenly pranced into the air & disappeared in the trees. #TTOT
A1. Travelling through the #DRC, buying a dugout canoe. Long time ago, no #ethical providers at that time, when I was slow travelling though Africa.

A2. Gorilla’s not that many left, in areas with civil unrest & in areas where people live on less than a dollar day.

A2: Elephants, big cats and cute animals are most at risk as tourists strive to get photos with them, so locals feed that demand in unethical ways. Luckily this lil guy lives in very remote areas of Aus! #ttot
A2 In Africa the pangolin is wildly trafficked to Asia for Chinese medicine. You can support the endangered pangolin by photography safaris which will put funds in the hands of conservationists and safaris that support its protection c Africa Unlocked, #SouthAfrica #ttot
A1 The Pantanal.
We did our research to ensure we had local properly trained guide, that the place we were staying didn't fly in exotic foods and that they didn't put bait etc out to attract the wildlife or interfere with wildlife #ttot
A3. I would Google it. & use phrases like “location” whale watching ethical / sustainable / responsible, etc
Don’t rely on one single site, do your own research.

A3 Every country is different in their protection standards although there are international conventions. It would be wise to check which authorities in your destination regulate whale watching. In the US it’s NOAA https://t.co/qFPzZbdjtC #TTOT Image @pixabay
A3 We only sell ethical whale watching trips in Africa. You can also spot whales from the shore at Cliff Lodge #SouthAfrica in October as they migrate around Hermanus #ttot

@SonjaSwissLife @IntrepidTravel @pixabay actually: Moving the travel industry In 2010 TUI Nederland became the first tour operator to stop all sales and promotion of venues offering elephant rides and shows.
Google: "the first tourism organisation to stop elephant riding" #ttot
