Read the following paragraph and do the tasks that follow. Ecotourism is a booming business that many tour operators cite as being helpful to nature. Every year, millions of people descend on protected and pristine natural areas to observe rare species. However, a new report casts doubt on the value of this form of tourism. In fact, it suggests that ecotourism is more damaging than helpful to nature. Details are in a report published in the journal 'Trends in Ecology and Evolution'. Researchers believe tourists are disrupting animals in their natural habitat. They pointed to a recent event where sea turtles in Costa Rica had problems laying their eggs because of the hordes of tourists who had congregated to watch the turtles' nesting habits. The report says that ecotourism is making animals bolder and that this could endanger the animals. A regular human presence might make animals tamer and less cautious about other animals around them, and this could put them at risk of being attacked by their natural threats. "Then they will suffer higher mortality when they encounter real predators," the report says. It added: "When animals interact in 'benign' ways with humans, they may let down their guard." The report said it was essential, "to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how different species in different situations respond to human visitation and under what precise conditions human exposure might put them at risk." 1.

Hàng năm, hàng triệu người xuống trên các khu vực tự nhiên được bảo vệ và nguyên sơ để quan sát các lồi quý hiếm. Tuy nhiên, một báo cáo mới tỏ ra nghi ngờ về giá trị của loại hình du lịch này. Trên thực tế, nĩ cho thấy du lịch sinh thái nguy hại hơn thiên nhiên. Thơng tin chi tiết được đưa ra trong một bài báo đăng trên tạp chí 'Xu hướng Sinh thái học và Tiến hĩa'. Các nhà nghiên cứu tin rằng khách du lịch đang phá hoại động vật trong mơi trường sống tự nhiên của chúng. Họ chỉ ra một sự kiện gần đây nơi rùa biển ở Costa Rica cĩ vấn đề đặt trứng của họ vì đám đơng du khách đã tụ tập để xem thĩi quen làm tổ của rùa. Báo cáo nĩi rằng du lịch sinh thái đang làm cho động vật mạnh mẽ hơn và điều này cĩ thể gây nguy hiểm cho động vật. Sự xuất hiện thường xuyên của con người cĩ thể làm cho động vật nhạo báng và ít thận trọng hơn đối với các động vật khác xung quanh chúng, và điều này cĩ thể khiến chúng cĩ nguy cơ bị tấn cơng bởi các mối đe dọa tự nhiên của chúng. Báo cáo cho biết: "Sau đĩ họ sẽ phải chịu đựng tỷ lệ tử vong cao hơn khi gặp những kẻ săn mồi thực sự. Nĩ bổ sung thêm: "Khi động vật tương tác với những con đường" lành tính "với con người, chúng cĩ thể làm giảm sự bảo vệ của chúng." Báo cáo cho biết điều quan trọng là "để phát triển sự hiểu biết tồn diện hơn về cách thức các lồi khác nhau trong các tình huống khác nhau đáp ứng sự thăm viếng của con người và trong những điều kiện chính xác nào mà con người cĩ thể gây nguy hiểm cho chúng."
