Spanish term or phrase: Avistamiento de fauna y flora

Hi all!

I am currently working on a translation of a Masters thesis related to wildlife tourism.

I keep seeing the following term "avistamiento de fauna y flora." It also has come up in relation to wildlife: "el turismo de avistamiento en la vida salvaje."

I understand what it means, but I just don't know if there is a specific term that fits in English, or what the proper term would be.

I was thinking of the following possibilities: "wildlife sight-seeing" or "wildlife watching".

Does anyone have any thoughts on this??

Thanks so much!
Jillian

Wildlife Tourism

Explanation:
Wildlife Tourism is a widely used term for a niche of eco tourism that is based on seeing animals in their natural habitat. If you aren't describing the niche itself, but the activity during the trip or holiday, then "wildlife spotting" is fine.

Example sentence(s):

The encounter between the visitor and the wildlife comprises the core of a wildlife tourism experience.
