Are hordes of safari jeeps threatening the leopards in Sri Lanka’s famed Yala National Park? Maybe not… | Pledge Holidays Travel Blog

ARE HORDES OF SAFARI JEEPS THREATENING THE LEOPARDS IN SRI LANKA’S FAMED YALA NATIONAL PARK? MAYBE NOT… Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park is renowned for having the highest leopard density in the world. It is hugely popular with tourists, particularly from China, our second-biggest marker after India. As a result, the South China Morning Post reports that “with large groups of jeeps fighting for the best views, and visitors littering and feeding animals, there are fears the big cats’ environment is under threat”. This is not news for environmentalists who have been sounding the alarm for some time. But the Post has added a new twist—that the growing hordes are in fact helping to protect the park’s wildlife. #SriLanka #YalaNationalPark #Leopards #SouthChinaMorningPost More below.
