In contrast to previous decades when outdoor and environmental education were marginalized as peripheral subjects in schools and extracurricular areas like girl guides, scouting and camping, the possibilities for ecological education today are expanding to become a more substantive part of school, recreation, leisure, cultural, and social service programs. This drive for eco-literacy is reflected in the growing demand for eco-tourism employees with high levels of education to provide information, analysis, and education about ecology and environment in a manner that supports increasingly critical learners.
