A monitoring system should be established to reject ecological colonialism, ensure developing countries' rights and benefits, as well as eliminate the worries in these countries. Meanwhile, conservation organizations as "agencies" should bear a double responsibility: carrying out the evaluation of ecological significance and cultural significance, and making the decision-making process public. Moreover, they should make a commitment to coorperation with government for the settlement of indigenous people. Since this new phenomenon is going to become more popular, more regulations should be rolled out to take control. Making everything public would make things much easier when carrying out regulations.
