Caribbean Ecotourism Listserv: focuses on this
particular region. Messages from green-travel are often
cross posted here. Currently, this service has an academic
leaning, and most of its subscribers are relatively quiet.
That said, ecotourism in the Caribbean is quite distinct and
this listserver should be more active.
