Ecotourism Sites (National & International)

National Ecotourism Site: Adams, Ilocos Norte

Adams, Ilocos Norte is located at the northwestern valley portion of the Cordilleras. It is
surrounded by mountains covered in lush forests, twelve waterfalls, and four rivers. The
mountains there are used for trekking and climbing adventures raging from extreme to mild.
Tourists can choose a four hour trek or a twelve hour journey in the area. Adams is about 3, 250
hectares and is a dipterocarp forest that serves as watershed for clean water and an excellent
habitat for flora and fauna. An estimate of 2,000 species of plants and animals are found in the
area. Illegal logging and wildlife trade are the current problems of Adams which is a recognized
biodiversity hotspot in Ilocos Norte.
International Ecotourism Site: The Amazon, Brazil

The Amazon is a 5, 500,000 km2 rainforest that represents almost half of the worlds
remaining rainforests and is the largest and most diverse rainforest in the world. It has 390 billion
individual trees, 2.5 million insect species, and 2,000 birds and mammals. The area was named
Amazon by Francisco de Orellana because of the tribal women who fight alongside men, similar
to the Amazons in Greek mythology. The earliest human settlement in the rainforest was dated to
be at least 11,200 years ago. Climate change is the leading problem of the Amazon today because
of the unexpected droughts that could endanger the rainforest.
