world; eighteen in total.<\/p>\n<p>The green spaces, including the Urho Kekkonen National Park in Finland, are where to come to hike through stunning landscapes, get up close to the reindeer and enjoy an abundance of sports such as skiing, snowboarding and ice fishing.<\/p>\n<p>Guided tours are available year round and these can be on foot, snowmobile or in some areas on husky-driven sleighs.<\/p>\n<p>Booking eco tour of the parks by locally operated tour guides will help to financially support the local community.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Engaging_with_the_indigenous_population\"><\/span>Engaging with the indigenous population<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re travelling to northern Norway you can

travel company.<\/p>\n<p>Many Eco tour operators will give a percentage of each booking towards environmental and conservation concerns; this is usually in the form of a voluntary donation by the traveler during the booking process.<\/p>\n<p>Flight emissions are another concern and many holiday companies provide the option of making a small financial offset, which will then be donated to organizations such as Climatecare.<\/p>\n<h6>Tarja Mitrovic, used under Creative Comms licence<\/h6>\n<p><em><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong><a
