Annapurna Trekking |
 |
|
Annapurna
trekking has been wildly recognized as a naturalist's
paradise. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment
harbors some of the rare snow leopards and blue sheep.
Other areas of the region protect bird species such as
the multi-coloured Impeyan, kokla, blood pheasant
amongst a multitude of other birds, butterflies and
insects. Many plants native to Nepal are found in this
forest. The conservation area has 100 varieties of
orchids and some of the richest temperate rhododendron
forest in the world.
For thousands of years people of diverse ethnic
backgrounds have scratched a livelihood out of its steep
hillsides. The advent of tourism and the phenomenal rise
in human population has triggered a process of
environmental deterioration. In 1968 Nepal's King
Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation launched the
Annapurna Conservation Area Project.
With international help, the project aims to integrate
environmental conservation with development that can
sustain the area's reserve base. The project aspires to
improve local living standards, protect the environment
and develop a more "sensitive" form of tourism. One of
its most important function has been to develop and
teach courses on environmental education in local
schools. |
