Funding of Protected Areas
Resources for environmental conservation are scarce. With an increasing number of parks and competing with human welfare issues, it is difficult to raise the funds for the National Parks.

Parks need a comprehensive funding approach, that combines income generation activities with traditional fundraising strategies.
