GS Paper III (Environment and Conservation) and Karnataka-specific papers. Unregulated resorts and homestays in tiger reserves cause habitat disturbance, human-wildlife conflict and pressure on buffer zones, even though the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and NTCA guidelines restrict such activity. Way forward: strict enforcement, mapping and regulation of eco-sensitive zones, and community-based, regulated eco-tourism that gives local people livelihoods.
