  • Abstract
    This article makes new interpretation of impacts of ecotourism from the perspective of biological environment, and points out negative impacts of ecotourism on biological environment, which are water attractions, soil and vegetation, as well as wildlife. On this basis, a detailed analysis of the negative impacts is made to reveal deep-rooted causes, and finally the tentative protective countermeasures to solve the problems are put forward: cultivation of environmental protection awareness, implementation of relevant legislation and regulation as well as limiting numbers within the carrying capacity of biological environment.
