Translate the following passage from English into Russian.
One conservation objective is to ensure that construction and maintenance of ecolodges follow environmental protocols to avoid degrading the very areas that tourists value for their pristine qualities. Low consumption, efficient use, and strict recycling of resources are key. While a hotel in an industrialized nation might be able to throw away large amounts of garbage, an ecolodge in a remote rainforest location has no place to get rid of trash, and must find ways to recycle it instead. Modern-day tourists are used to having clean sheets in their bedrooms daily. In order to conserve water, power, and labor, an ecolodge might have to adopt a weekly schedule of linen-changing. Tourists are also used to throwing away large amounts of packaging and other trash in the course of their daily activities. Binna Burra, an ecolodge in Australia, provides visitors with biodegradable toiletries and offers boxed lunches for hikers in reusable containers, generating no trash.

Translate the following passage from Russian into English.
Для экологов экотуризм дает возможность долгосрочной защиты территории и ее ресурсов. Это особенно ценно учитывая, что проблемные места биологического разнообразия – это обычно самые бедные регионы в мире, где экономическая необходимость наиболее вероятно заставляет людей преследовать цели, которые наносят вред окружающей среде. Экотуризм – это возможность сохранить экосистемы и биологическое разнообразие, которые иначе были бы утрачены. Это также и шанс получать доход для дальнейших исследований. Плата за въезд в места экотуристических достопримечательностей могут быть включены в программы о дальнейшем изучении экологии этих мест, что может оказывать финансовую поддержку в разведении племенных животных, реабилитации или восстановлению лесных массивов. А мониторинг воздействия человека гарантирует, что посещение не разрушает ресурсы.
Discuss the following questions:
How is ecotourism different from nature tourism, sustainable tourism, responsible tourism?
How has ecotourism evolved over the years?
Why is ecotourism important?
Who are eco-tourists?
Why should I become involved in ecotourism?
Prepare a presentation on the topic being discussed.
