Annapurna Region 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. |
