History
Chitwan was designated Nepal’s first national park in 1973 to protect lowland species; the park’s conservation model has long involved collaboration with the Tharu communities who once used the land for seasonal grazing.
Conservation
Anti-poaching patrols and community-based tourism help fund protection; visitors should stick to trails and avoid single-use plastics to reduce disturbance and litter in the park.
