Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP)

The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) is a government initiative in Nepal aimed at protecting the Annapurna mountain region’s natural environment and cultural heritage. It promotes sustainable tourism, conservation of wildlife and forests, and supports local communities economically and socially. By involving local people in conservation efforts, ACAP seeks to balance ecological preservation with human development, ensuring the area remains pristine and sustainable for future generations. It also raises awareness about environmental issues and encourages responsible tourism practices among visitors.
