Sustainable Eco Tourism

I don't really know if this is the right thread for this, but if it isn't, feel free to move it moderator.
Anyway, I was looking into some cool things to do in Malaysia just the other day, since I am planning a trip there, and I came across something really cool.
It is a sustainable eco tourism program. Unlike other places that draw people in to appreciate the wildlife and eco-terrain in a way that is actually quite harmful to the environment, this program is quite different. It is a kind of voluntourism. You volunteer with conservation efforts and scientific research for sustainability with some of the country's most amazing and endangered species, like their projects with tigers and turtles.
I do a lot of travelling and I know that it has its effect on the environment. It would really be nice to be able to travel with a purpose and do some good.
I think it's a really cool idea and I'm definitely working it into my Malaysia travel plans. What do you guys think?
