Read the following AP-style argumentative essay context and source summaries.

Theme: The impact of ecotourism in Latin America.
Essay Prompt: 'El ecoturismo en América Latina: ¿Representa un beneficio económico sostenible o una amenaza ambiental y cultural para las comunidades locales?'

Source Summaries:
- Source 1 (Article): Highlights that ecotourism creates local jobs and provides necessary funding for local communities.
- Source 2 (Table): Demonstrates a direct correlation between tourist foot traffic and environmental water degradation.
- Source 3 (Audio): An indigenous leader states that traditional cultural practices are being commercialized and destroyed.

Your task is to draft a formal, one-sentence thesis statement in Spanish that takes a nuanced position. Your thesis must acknowledge the economic benefits (Source 1) but ultimately argue that the environmental and cultural damages (Sources 2 and 3) are more significant.

To allow for standardized grading, complete the following Spanish sentence by translating the bracketed concepts into formal Spanish (use exactly two words for each bracketed concept).

'Aunque el ecoturismo proporciona [economic benefits], en última instancia es una amenaza que causa [environmental damage] y [cultural loss].'

Write the COMPLETE sentence in Spanish as your answer.

To fulfill the scoring guidelines, you must maintain a formal register and ask for further details about the position.

Write one complete sentence in Spanish (using the formal 'usted' register) that explicitly asks Dr. Ayala for more details regarding the specific responsibilities of the internship.
