Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism as the result of a chemical reaction during which chemical energy is converted to light energy. In much the same manner, Eco adventures hopes that embarking on an eco-adventure can shake people up and bring forth a new form of enlightenment and awareness about the fragility of our environment.
