The establishment of an ecotourism corporation in the Indian state of Uttarakhand has been given the green light by the Chief Minister of that state. The new corporation would be jointly administered by the state departments of tourism and forestry.

Both departments have been asked to develop a well planned approach to setting up the corporation, and the forestry department was specifically tasked with setting up boundaries which are designed to avoid conflicts between wild animals and tourists. The forest development corporation was directed to construct toilet facilities in forest villages to ensure health and sanitation for visitors. The interests of local people were given a high priority in future development of the region, and plans for river rafting and beach development can generate increased income for local villages.
