    This has changed patterns of land use and resource management. Tourism has also increased pressure on high-latitude resources and the natural environment. Nepal has lots of natural wealth in resources and has protected and conserved key areas since the 1970s. Currently 13% of Nepal’s land area is protected. The Sagarmatha National Park is one of eight national parks which have been reported as suffering from pollution and deforestation in direct correlation with the increase in tourism in this area. Sherpas, owners of trekking companies and owners of lodges have used up great amounts of the forest in their own sustenance lifestyle and also providing modern facilities for tourists. Forests are also a source of foods and medicines, timber and building material, firewood and grazing. The two regional uses of forests that have played the greatest roles in forest change are firewood collection and tree felling for the collection of timber used in building of modern infrastructure. Although camping tourists no longer use firewood in the Everest region, porters for many expeditions and trekking groups continue to do so. With the growth of tourism, the number of trekking porters entering the national park has risen and account for more than 10% of tourism-related firewood use.

    Bandhavgarh National Park lies at the geographical centre of India. It is said to be a heaven for Tigers and other wildlife. Declared as a Tiger Reserve in 1993, Bandhavgarh holds the highest density of Tigers in India. Off late there have been some cases of poisoning of Tigers as retaliation by the local villagers but still the King roams freely in and around Bandhavgarh. With a few Tigers left in the wild, every life is precious. The very famous Banbei Tigress of Bandhavgarh, who was successful in raising many cubs to maturity, was found dead under mysterious circumstances. The body was decomposed and it was hard to determine which tiger it was. The forest officials after scrutinizing the body declared it was some male tiger. But when the guides and tourist drivers did not find the female for many days, it was clear that the Banbei Tigress was poisoned and the forest officials were just covering for it. This was not all.. A Tigress, in Pataur area was also found dead after eating the carcass of a cattle dragged from a nearby village. The carcass was in turn poisoned and the Tigress died after consuming it. The officials were intimated about the tigress by the locals. The officials and the villagers could see the tigress struggle for life near Bamai Nala, where she lost the battle for life in front of everyone. The only thing that comes out of both the cases is POISONING. And without local hands, it is not possible. The Save the Stripes Team, on 1st November 2009, did a survey in and around the Park, to find out the reasons behind this. The survey was conducted in Pataur, Bhamsa, Ghangaur and Damna. Bhamsa and Ghangaur being small villages have a population of about 6080 people. Damna has about 200 people and about 500 livestock.
