A tentative sustainable management plan for Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) based on evaluations of existing optimal management schemes in mountainous national parks and methodological analysis

Synthesizing a sustainable management scheme for a mountainous national park or alpine conservation zone involves analyzing existing and optimal strategies and proposing newborn methods adaptive to the given region. While present methods can be extracted from a variety of reserves located in different terrestrial biomes, merging innovative schemes with the status quo of the targeted alpine area proves salient. Offering one of the most extraordinary scenery and adventure experiences out there, Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) in northwest Nepal hosts paramount numbers of tourists annually. However, due to the harshness of the local environment, deficiency in social productivity, and absence of a well-managed tourism industry, the ACA suffers from turbulence in economic growth, degradation of natural resources, and destruction of regional ecosystems. Here we present a tentative management plan for the Annapurna Conservation Area, created by combining existing schemes and specialized alternative methods suited for the ACA, enhancing its revenue while decreasing the rate of resource exploitation.
