UP to Launch 'Buffer Mein Safar' for Ecotourism in Tiger Reserves
Imagine going on a fun adventure in the jungle!
The government is starting a program called 'Buffer Mein Safar' to make it easier to visit the wild areas around tiger reserves.
They want to show off the beautiful nature and animals while helping protect them.
New paths for exploring will be made in places like Dudhwa and Pilibhit.
They are also teaching local people to be guides and run restaurants, giving them jobs.
This helps both tourists have a great time and protects the animals from people getting too close.
The program aims to make visiting these wild places safe and exciting for everyone!
The 'Buffer Mein Safar' scheme aims to boost ecotourism in Uttar Pradesh.
The scheme will develop safari routes in the buffer zones of tiger reserves.
Key locations include Dudhwa, Pilibhit, and Uttar Kheri, along with specific areas like Bhira and Mohammadi.
Local communities will be trained as guides and restaurant operators to generate employment.
The initiative seeks to reduce human-wildlife conflict while enhancing tourism.
