Pilgrimage, religious tourism, biodiversity, and natural sacred sites.

Abstract
 This chapter examines the impacts of pilgrimage and religious tourists on natural sacred sites. After discussing the views of the environment held by various religious groups and the tensions between secular and religious modes of environmentalism, definitions and different types of natural sacred sites are considered. Attention is then turned to examine how pilgrimage and religious tourism affect natural sacred sites, followed by a discussion of the management of sacred natural sites and their role in the preservation of biodiversity.
