THE WATERTON BIOSPHERE RESERVE - Achieving a Balance: Part II - Can tourism development and natural conditions co-exist in a Biosphere Reserve (BR)? People who value natural settings and healthy ecosystems travel great distances and spend large amounts of money to visit such areas. The challenjge is to accommodate these people with little or no impact on the area. Farm and ranch vacations, guest ranches, bird watching, wagon trains and guided walks and ridescoul d all bring income to land holders. Certainly, such businesses are kinder to the land than large-scale developments or intensive sub-divisions for housing or recreational cottages. As an area becomes subdivided little consideration is given to the plants and animals that previously occupied it. In many cases the land may have provided critical habitat for wildlife and plants. When undisturbed land is no longer available, some species cannot survive. Examples of this are abundant. Subdivisions have been Mount Boswell straddles the border between Canada and the United States.
