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.

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.

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.

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.

This book invites the reader to reflect on our desired relationship with animals in the tourism sector. Above all, a convincing case is made that urgent action is needed to achieve a thriving planet for all living beings.

Wildlife Tourism Futures is an important exploration of the future of encounters with wild (and previously wild) animals and is a highly recommended read for anyone in the animal and wildlife tourism field.
