To quote CREST founder Dr. Martha Honey, we earnestly believe that ecotourism is “simply a better way to
travel.” Here’s a look at how this transformational approach to travel benefits conservation, increases cross-
cultural understanding, and ultimately turns travelers into environmental advocates:
To see how ecotourism benefits nature and wildlife, let’s look at endangered species such as African Elephants.
Ivory from Elephant tusks is worth $1500 a pound on the black market, which has led to a dramatic increase
in poaching. But Elephants are worth 76 times more alive than dead. When you consider the revenue from
wildlife photography tours, luxury safari camps, and other ecotourism offerings, a single Elephant is worth
$1.3 million over the course of its lifetime! Ecotourism offers a long-term alternative to exploitation,
generating sustainable revenue and ensuring better overall health of the ecosystem.
Nature reserves and national parks help prevent deforestation and pollution, while also protecting the habitat
of endemic species. The revenue that ecotourism provides can help replace profits from exploitative practices
such as mining or slash ‘n’ burn agriculture. It can also help ensure the long-term financial viability of the
area. Naturalist guides also help travelers understand the value of a pristine ecosystem, and teach them about
the importance of conservation. This ultimately help to create a more mindful and conscious legion of
travelers.
When managed properly, ecotourism can offer locals alternative revenue streams. In wildlife-rich countries
such as Rwanda, former poachers are often employed as guides or trackers, capitalizing on their knowledge
of the animals and their habitat. In Costa Rica, unemployment has fallen to less than 10% since the country
started building its ecotourism infrastructure in the 1970s. Involving local communities in tourism
management empowers them by ensuring that more revenue is reinvested locally. Ecotourism also offers
indigenous peoples an opportunity to remain on ancestral land, conserve it, and preserve traditional culture.
Sure, being a responsible traveler takes a greater level of commitment to being conscious and mindful of the
impact we have on the destinations we visit. But ecotourism also offers us incredible, transformative
experiences, allowing us to develop closer personal relationships to the nature, wildlife, and local people we
encounter during our adventures. Learning about ecotourism can permanently change your understanding of
mankind’s role in our planetary ecosystem. And once you’ve had that sort of travel experience, you’ll never
want to travel the traditional way again.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

Annie Oakley, an intriguing figure in American entertainment, was a markswoman who starred in Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Show, where she was often called "Little Sure Shot". She was born in 1860 in Darke County,
Ohio, and her original name was Phoebe Ann Moses. As a child, she hunted game with such success that,
according to legend, by selling it in Cincinnati, Ohio, she was able to pay off the mortgage on the family farm.
When she was 15 she won a shooting match in Cincinnati with Frank E. Butler, a vaudeville marksman, and
they were married a year later.
For the next ten years they toured the country and performed in theaters and circuses as "Butler and Oakley."
In April 1885, Annie Oakley, now under her husband's management, joined "Buffalo Bill" Cody's Wild West
Show. Billed as "Miss Annie Oakley, the Peerless Lady Wing- Shot," she was one of the show's star attractions
for sixteen years.
Oakley never failed to delight her audiences, and her feats of marksmanship were truly incredible. At 30
paces she could split a playing card held edge-on, and she hit dimes tossed into the air. She shot cigarettes
from her husband's lips, and, when he threw a playing card into the air, she would shoot it full of holes before
it touched the ground. She was a great success on the Wild West Show's European trips.
In 1887, she was presented to Queen Victoria, and later in Berlin she performed her cigarette trick with, at
his insistence, Crown Prince Wilhelm (later Kaiser Wilhelm II) holding the cigarette. A train wreck in 1901
left her partially paralyzed for a time, but she recovered and returned to the stage to amaze audiences for many
more years.
Question 19. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Annie Oakley was a talented and popular entertainer.
B. Buffalo Bill Cody was not as good a marksman as Annie Oakley.
C. Queen Victoria was brave when she held a cigarette for Annie Oakley.
D. Frank E. Butler was jealous of his wife's talent and popularity.
Question 20. What does the word “it” as used in the phrase “by selling it” refer to?
A. legend B. mortgage C. game D. child
Question 21. The passage implies that Oakley and Butler were married in ____
A. 1875 B. 1886 C. 1885 D. 1876
