Human Activities and Sustainability of Tourist Sites

Human activities are significantly degrading the sustainability of Kenya's major tourist sites, including Kilimanjaro National Park and Mount Kenya West. The study highlights severe environmental impacts such as illegal poaching, logging, charcoal burning, forest clearing for farming and settlement, and litter dumping along tourist routes. These activities threaten the ecological integrity and wildlife conservation efforts in these protected areas. The research recommends collaborative conservation efforts involving local communities, government agencies, hotel owners, and tour guides, alongside stricter regulations on plastic use with harsh penalties to mitigate environmental damage.
