Unfortunately these days the kind and rate of adverse pressures our natural treasures are facing due to high degree of human interference for their development and urbanization with little concern for the environment and aesthetics, is very high. Again along with the natural destructions the socio-economic status of the local populations is also being curdled down .If this continues then we may not be in a position to save them unless we manage them effectively with the objective of conserving these areas at their best. Thus a regulated eco-tourism under well-managed conditions is the best beneficial way by which the risks can be avoided. This can fulfill several objectives like:
-
Providing recreation and promoting nature and wildlife education,
-
Income/Employment generation,
-
Earning of foreign exchange,
-
Encouragement to dispersed rural development,
-
Providing funds for natural resource conservation,
-
Building political support for nature conservation,
-
Increase in awareness of environmental issues.
