  2. Funds conservation efforts: The revenue generated by a green tax can be used to fund conservation efforts in the area, such as habitat restoration, invasive species control, and wildlife protection.
  3. Supports local communities: A portion of the green tax revenue can be directed towards supporting local communities, such as through the creation of jobs in sustainable tourism or the development of eco-friendly infrastructure.
  4. Helps to offset environmental costs: Visitors to Palena Province may unintentionally contribute to environmental degradation through their activities, such as transportation and waste production. A green tax can help to offset these costs and ensure that the ecosystem is not unduly burdened by tourism activities.
