How does tourism and urbanization are destroying the mountain ecosystem and what are the measures are to be taken for sustainable mountain development?
Mountains are one of the world's most important tourist destinations. But tourism presents both opportunities and dangers for mountain ecosystems. It is a double edged sword. The clean, cool air and awe-inspiring scenery of mountain areas, combined with the unique customs, arts, crafts and culinary traditions of the communities that live there, make trips to the mountains attractive holiday options. Tourism revenues have become a primary source of income for many mountain communities. Yet, the influx of visitors into mountain regions poses a threat to these unique and often pristine environments. t can degrade and stress fragile mountain ecosystems, destroying the qualities that make these environments so alluring. Mountains are among the worlds most important repositories of biodiversity, yet construction, pollution and noise all threaten this precious asset. Litter and waste have emerged as key problems, as well as trees being felled to supply timber and fuel wood which again leads to further environmental impacts. The mysticism of sacred mountain sites is often diminished by the numbers of people who come from all over the world to make pilgrimages. Tourism means more transportation networks and links, which can blight the mountain environment, disrupt traditional ways of life. Building ski runs often involves destroying swathes of forest, planting pylons for chairlifts and cable cars and building roads and tunnels.
