Tóm tắt

The authors report on the development of a college-level eco-educational course that attempts to capitalize on the ecological and educational strengths of ecotourism by establishing a partnership with a local community. The course (a) offers an international experience; (b) emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, community interaction, experiential and service learning, and the application of lessons learned abroad and at home; and (c) is consistent with the objectives of the liberal arts institution that offered it. We focus the course on the fundamental link between environmental and cultural conservation in Latin America. Costa Rica is the current model and destination. Throughout this article suggestions are offered for establishing community partnerships for effective international eco-educational program development. © 2001 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
