While traveling in and around the park in Chitwan, one should employ the use of environmentally safe and ethical tourist behaviors that will not only preserve the delicate ecosystem but also help develop the local community. Find accommodation facilities that have sustainable operations which involve management of wastes properly, use solar energy and practice conservation. When you are gardening, you will be doing wildlife-friendly gardening which means no harm done to animals and their habitat by your existence. One example is, ethical safaris can be nature-guided by talented naturalists. By encouraging the use of the local services and local customers like guides and by eating at restaurants owned by locals, shopping handicrafts as made by Tharu people themselves can contribute to the local economy of the region. The sustainability of tourism has been quite effective in conserving the living species in Chitwan, especially the endangered one-horned rhino population. Avoid unethical activities like riding on an elephant or any tour that takes advantage of animals to amuse human beings.
