As a forest officer in a developing country, I agree with the authors of "Ecotourism and nature reserve sustainability." In developing countries, the majority of politicians are hardly interested in conservation and wildlife protection. They are more concerned about economic development. If people of their constituency demand the opening of a reserve for their own economic benefit and welfare, then politicians do all sorts of things to promote tourism in the protected areas. Generally tourists here in India come for enjoyment and don’t bother much about the nonbiodegradable waste they generate.

Most developing countries are bestowed with nature's best resources in terms of wildlife and forests, but because of their top policy makers' (politicians and bureaucrats) unsustainable and corrupt approach, they are not able to conserve their natural resources. Nature lovers and concerned NGOs have to act forcefully to convince politicians as well as local people around nature reserves to prevent such degradation.
