There are 194 recognized countries in the world (not including Antarctica) of various sizes and climates, and each has a different view on wildlife protection. Some of these countries destroyed the brunt of their wildlife population decades or even centuries ago, while others had less of a wildlife population to begin with. We've got jungle, tundra, desert, countries the size of other continents, countries a person can walk across in a day, and even a country that is a continent (hi, Australia)--attempting to decide which five nations are doing the worst job protecting endangered species is an impossible and ultimately unproductive task.

Rapturously reviewed by the authors, these houses and halls and campgrounds are tied together more by how enchanted and out-of-the-way they appear than by commonalities in how the owners run their business. Still, the reviews of each place sometimes seem to have been written by an owner's rapturous aunt and one can't help but be seduced.
