Saving the environment around you and preserving the natural luxuries and forest life, that's what eco-tourism is all about.

Tiger Conservation: Wildlife Conservation & Tourism in India [http://www2.gorp.com/rareearth/wildindia/tiger/conserve.htm]

Animals have always played an important part in the lives of Indian people. Trees were held sacred, wild animals were vehicles for gods and goddesses, as the tiger was for Durga. Even today Hindus worship animals-gods such as Hanuman (the mighty langur) and Ganesh (the elephant-headed son of Shiva). The mythologies of Hinduism and Buddhism are interwoven with tales of man and beast, a bond that has been depicted for centuries in art, literature and music. Brahma, the Hindu Creator, transformed himself, it's said, to become a bull when he was creating the animals of the world.
