Climate change and environmental degradation affecting livelihoods of the local communities Lack of alternative livelihoods and energy sources for the local communities affecting the park ecosystem (unsustainable use of natural resources)

Poverty fueled by environmental degradation and climate change is threatening biodiversity

Increasing human-wildlife conflict in protected Areas(PAs)

Conservation of National Parks and other PAs are major concerns of NAPA and CRGE

PAs are scientific and research areas for climate science

The need to empower all stakeholder institutions for coordinated protected areas management

The need to harmonize the social, economic, and environmental concerns of National Parks for the well being of the society and wildlife

Limited institutional capacity, partnership and collaboration among stakeholders, and lack of community stewardship
