Geno Biospher is in cross two Khalig- Omani & Iran –Torani region cross together. It has lots of rangelands with trees and with more than 60% plant species of Hormozgan. In this study, the original goal is evaluating potential of Geno rangelands for ecotourism use to preventing degrade. In every special region in every type, we use 4 transects with 200 meter and we put 15 plot 1*1 m² with 100 meter distance. Then production was estimated with cut & weight method and final plant cover map was prepared. Map rules was based according life-environment units and with using systemic method in Arc GIS9.2 environment, all data layers overlay together and ecotourism ecologic potential map was prepared with Makhdom ecological models. Finally results show that 10.84% or 61.04ha is proper for concentrated recreation 1& 2 levels and 40.64% or18067.01 ha is proper for open recreation. According research result and attention to 40.64% of range surface that protect and they has open recreation potential too, this rangeland can use for ecotourism, plant and animal researching, mountain climbing, looking bird, looking at wild animal and paraglider for scientific and public tourisms.
