00:05 This year the judges decided on Himalayan ecotourism.
00:11 The reason for that is an excellent example of using tourism
00:16 to make better lives for people, but also to make a real contribution to conservation.

00:27 And what they've done with the setting up of the cooperative
00:30 and the engagement of so many villagers in it
00:33 is to create a really interesting model of how you can use tourism
00:38 both to make better places for people to live in,
00:40 but also to make the world better for the wildlife and the habitat
00:45 within the Great Himalayan National Park
00:48 from which these villagers have been displaced when the National Park was created.
