Environmental Economics
Biodiversity can be defined as the diversity of ecosystems, expressed as symbioses, habitats, landscapes, species diversity and genetic diversity within species, i.e. the totality of the gene pool that constitutes nature at the global level. In the current period, but especially in the last half century, there has been a steady loss of biodiversity with major consequences for the living world and severe impacts on human society. Biodiversity is a fundamental basis for human existence and humanity is itself a part of biodiversity and our existence in the world would be impossible without it. Quality of life, economic competitiveness, workforce and security all rely on this biodiversity, which can be seen as natural capital. Through this prism, biodiversity can be sustainably exploited through certain types of tourism. Initially, its exploitation started with rural tourism, ecotourism. The expansion of these types of tourism beyond certain limits has led to unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, despite claims of minor impact on nature. In this context, it can be said that in the near future, the most recommended type of tourism will be nature tourism, which excludes the construction of tourist structures near or within all protected areas so as not to damage the integrity of the natural environment and not to degrade the natural capital resources on which economic and social development is based.
