This is the second instance of construction activity near KNPTR. In July last year, HT had reported about the construction of a building in Kanchanjuri animal corridor of the park, a UNESCO world heritage site known for being the largest habitat of one-horned

Arhaq 9 months ago

HUERFANO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) — A new public ski area is scheduled to reopen next season — on the same site where a previous ski resort closed 20 years ago.

The Cuchara Ski Resort operated from 1981 to 2000 during a period of several owners. Some local leaders said that the lack of snow, the remoteness of the area and the resort being operated more as a development property are among the reasons it closed.

“This area is becoming more popular for tourists,” said Jim Littlefield, member of the Panadero Ski Corporation and the Cuchara Mountain Park Advisory Council. “And

Dwarfed by a 21-storey-tall statue of the Hindu god Vishnu riding the mythical eagle Garuda, a tour guide on the Indonesian resort island of Bali said he was staring at a dismal Lunar New Year season as the coronavirus wreaks havoc on tourism.

“In the last 10 months, there’s been no income, because there are no visitors,” said Effendy, clad in traditional red headgear and batik sarong, as he stood in the deserted 60-hectare park where the statue is a tourist draw.

California enters legal fight over massive Lake County resort, housing project

Arhaq 9 months ago

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and his office are challenging plans for a massive luxury resort and mixed-use project on 25 square miles of fire-prone landscape in hard-hit southern Lake County.

In a legal motion filed this month, Becerra unexpectedly announced an effort to join an existing lawsuit against the Guenoc Valley Project. He argued the project’s environmental impact report, approved last year by the Lake County Board of Supervisors, did not sufficiently address the increased risk of wildfire that would result from the development, as well as the limited capacity for evacuation from the community should a fire occur.
