 Limitation

The holiday weekend is taking an adverse toll on animals of the Bandipur and also in some
other wildlife places like Nagarahole tiger reserves near Mysuru and the Cauvery Wildlife
Sanctuary near Bengaluru which are bustling with tourists. With most visitors being either
ignorant or unaware of rules, both the habitat and the wildlife have been adversely affected.
Despite induction of more staff at the ground level and with activists keeping a vigil of the
protected areas during holiday season, forest officials say it is still very difficult to control
the unruly crowds, especially youth who trespass and enter prohibited areas and disturb the
wildlife. Week-end tourism is a branch that is hard to be defined and quantified, just
because some of the related activities are not used exclusively in tourism consumer.
