With co-authors Krithi Karanth (WCS-India) and Brijesh Thapa (UF), Mahi Puri’s paper “Trends and pathways for ecotourism research in India” appeared in the Journal of Ecotourism in May 2018. Reviewing 30 studies on ecotourism since 2005, the authors identified research gaps in ecotourism as well as the reasons to develop ecotourism.  Mahi and colleagues also highlight recommendations that would help improve the discourse around ecotourism and might encourage policy interventions.  The authors suggest that ecotourism can function to provide eocio-economic benefits to local communities while meeting conservation needs.  You can access the paper here.
