Objective
1. Understand tourism demand in protected areas and evaluate their effects on natural and historical / cultural resources; 2. Discuss whether the negative effects of recreation on natural areas are an important issue for administrators, visitors and scientists; 3. Identify the most common ecological and social impacts from outdoor recreational activities; 4. Identify efficient indicators that can be used to monitor environmental and social conditions in protected areas; 6. Know current studies that deal with the theme Recreation Ecology; 7. Identify management strategies to reduce impact in protected areas
