Resumen
Descripción
Sri Lanka's ten-year development
framework aims at accelerating economic growth while
ensuring a path of sustainable development and prioritizing
conservation of the country's natural heritage. It is
in this context that this policy note seeks to examine the
scope for enhancing protection of Sri Lanka's natural
assets through nature based tourism as an instrument for
conservation with a specific focus on elephant conservation.
This study identifies development opportunities that
increase tourism revenues and offers an assessment of the
human/elephant conflict, which is the primary impediment to
long term elephant conservation.
