The ideas behind ecotourism are not new. Rooted in the conservation and environmental movement in the United States over the past 150 years and spurred by the writings of [1] Thoreau, [2] Muir, and before them, Buddhism and other philosophical ideologies — ecotourism is a new application for an age-old concept of [3] stewardship. It recognizes the interconnections of all life and the importance of maintaining a balance between human needs and those of existing ecosystems.
Perhaps [4] Aldo Leopold’s famous Land Ethicbest captures the philosophical essence of stewardship: “a thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community… it is wrong if [5] it does otherwise.” In diversity there is stability. Ecotourism is really nothing more than the application of this philosophy to the self-enriching discovery made possible through level. It is a process and an [6] ethic, not an end in itself.
2. Translate the following Chinese text into English, paying attention to the text type and translation methods as well as the style.
上周日发布的一项调查结果显示，在韩国首都汉城，每两家餐馆中就有一家供应的泡菜来自中国，这意味着进口泡菜已经打入韩国市场。
令人惊讶的是，在汉城南部繁华的瑞草区，10家韩国餐馆中有9家承认他们供应的是从中国进口的相对比较便宜的泡菜。
韩国饭店协会在今年8月对汉城和京畿道79,311家餐馆进行的调查显示，其中有39,663家餐馆表示他们提供给顾客的泡菜来自中国，占餐馆总数的50%。
代表韩国饭店协会发布调查结果的韩国农业部说，该调查没有包括中式、日式餐馆和快餐厅。
在汉城，占整个餐饮企业59.9%的39,803家餐馆正在供应中国泡菜，在京畿道这个数字是40.1%，也就是有39，508家餐馆。
在汉城的瑞草区、麻浦区、衿川区和龙山区，供应中国泡菜的餐馆所占的比例特别高。在京畿道的华城市、安养市、水原市和龙仁市，餐馆在很大程度上依赖进口泡菜。

韩国政府公布的数据显示，今年上半年韩国泡菜的进口量比去年同期增长114.4%，达到49846吨。从进口额来看，泡菜的进口额比去年同期上升了136.8%，高达2155万美元。这一时期进口的所有泡菜中有99.9%来自中国。
泡菜是一种味辣、营养丰富的小菜，通常是腌制的卷心菜和萝卜。泡菜几乎是韩国人每餐必备的食物。
“尽管大量中国泡菜涌入韩国市场，当地的餐馆经营者们拒绝向顾客透露泡菜的确切产地消息。政府将推出一项新的法案，要求餐馆老板们说清楚泡菜的产地。”韩国农业部的官员透露。
韩国农业部将中国泡菜的大量涌入归结为以下两个原因：一是价格低廉的中国泡菜满足了广大餐馆老板们的需求，另一个原因是越来越多的韩国泡菜生产商将生产基地迁往中国
