It is famous for being home to the Royal Bengal tiger and is designated as a world heritage site. The conservation of the Sundarban is therefore a key environmental priority, but, as population and development pressures rise, the challenge of protecting the area will get harder. Now a new SANDEE study has looked at the value of the region to tourists - to help justify its conservation and to assess what level of entrance fees would provide the most income to fund its protection.Text1 digital file (4 p. : ill.)enPROTECTED AREASTOURIST AREASTOURISMNATURE CONSERVATIONINDIAPolicy Brief
