Interpretation of DON’T
SHOOT BY RIFLE SHOOT BY CAMERA
This is awareness
campaign of stop poaching and sensitizes eco-tourism to tourists and local
community alike. This awareness show how tourism product made to be consumed by
taking pictures and leave nature takes it place. The logo has elephant to show among
endangered and extinct who disappear due to wild life crime. The live elephant
worth more when shoot by camera than rifle which kill the animal and not
sustainable for future generation to meet their need.
The wild life tourism earned high in the
contribution of tourism foreign exchange compare to cultural tourism, wild life
tourism contributed by big five wild animal attraction where elephant and rhino
are poached heavily. Poaching of elephant and rhino trophy lead to the
extinction while the mostly used weapon is rifle followed with local traps. When
elephant killed for ivory it disturb ecosystem by killing the key stone species
and lead to misbalance of ecological system in protected areas.
To shoot by camera is
sustainable way to utilizing tourism products and lead to the sustainable
conservation of natural resources. Also don’t shoot by rifle shoot by camera
scrutinize hunting tourism which is not in a sustainable way of preserving wild
animals and which lead to endanger or extinction of wild animal like elephant
and rhino.
The logo also to large
extent promotes peace and stop environment crimes and political war which now
days engulfing the world.
Photographic tourism is
the eco-friendly tourism activities which raises awareness of stop poaching due
to the taking picture only and leave animal existence for future generation to
see. Also to raise domestic tourism where you can’t see elephant in town what
you need is to go in park and see the elephant live and shoot by camera to take
memorable nature experience.
