This study examines the relationship between ecotourism practices and their impacts on biodiversity conservation, local environmental quality, and tourist behavior in selected ecotourism destinations of Rajasthan, India. Adopting a quantitative, cross-sectional research design, the study surveyed 200 respondents across five ecological zones using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, applying linear regression to assess the relationships among variables.

The current evidence shows that the ecotourism activities have been able to play a significant role in conserving the biodiversity, majorly by implementing environmentally soothing infrastructure, managing visitor density, and installing interpretive signage. Additionally, it was demonstrated that responsible ecotourism activities, e.g., successful implementation of guided nature walks and low-impact tourism processes, had a (positive) effect on the environmental quality, whereas community involvement and environmental education had mixed or limited impacts. In addition, that aspect, which was highly linked to ecofriendly behavior, is the environmental awareness of the tourists, which confirmed the value of knowledge-influenced engagement in the conservation process.
