The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) has issued a warning against the use of fireworks on trekking routes within the conservation area, deeming it a strictly illegal activity that poses serious risks to wildlife, natural resources, and the safety of trekkers. ACAP has expressed its firm commitment to halting such activities and pursuing legal action against offenders.
In a recent statement, ACAP confirmed that an investigation has begun, focusing initially on the area around Prajit Naga, where reports of fireworks have surfaced. The organization is actively gathering information on the ground to identify and hold accountable those responsible for violating conservation regulations.
“We urge all visitors to be responsible trekkers and respect the regulations of the conservation area,” stated an ACAP representative. “These actions not only disturb the ecosystem but also endanger the experience and safety of others on the trekking routes.”
ACAP’s proactive stance highlights its dedication to preserving the Annapurna Conservation Area’s natural environment, ensuring it remains safe and undisturbed for both wildlife and visitors. Trekkers are reminded to comply with all conservation rules and regulations, as ACAP continues to monitor and protect the region against illegal activities.
