This book presents a series of possible future scenarios in wildlife and animal tourism by combining critical thinking and imagination to stimulate reflection and ways forward. The future of wildlife tourism faces uncertainties that revolve around many factors, including climate change, mass wildlife extinction, human population growth, deforestation, sustainability and ethical assumptions. For wildlife tourism to meet these challenges, new ways of thinking are necessary. The chapters in this volume focus on future wildlife tourism development and management; the experiential value, educational components and ethical relevance of tourism-animal encounters; and the technology applied to wildlife tourism. They offer critically-imagined futures in order to encourage readers to reflect on the possibility of shaping a better future. The book will appeal to researchers, students and practitioners in wildlife tourism, environmental studies, sustainability and conservation.

Reviews for Wildlife Tourism Futures: Encounters with Wild, Captive and Artificial Animals

This important book invites you on an imaginative journey towards a world of future possibilities for wildlife tourism. Using an innovative scenario development approach, the book jolts the reader into new ways of thinking about the involvement of animals in tourism and poses tough questions that demand to be addressed. * Kevin Markwell, Southern Cross University, Australia * Within the context of our current perilous planetary situation, this thought-provoking, future-thinking book questions current wildlife values and practices, while envisioning a more ethical and sustainable future for wildlife tourism activities. Most importantly, it adds to the growing chorus of those promoting radical changes in human behaviour, generally, and tourism behaviour, specifically. * Valerie A. Sheppard, Justice Institute of British Columbia, Canada * I feel hopeful for animals, and can envisage a positive future for wildlife after reading this book. The chapters are immensely interesting, with realistic scenarios depicting a range of possibilities for wildlife tourism. The material and contexts are diverse, evidencing detailed research and expertise. Congratulations to the editor and authors. * Caroline Winter, William Angliss Institute, Australia *
