Rural

• Conflict: tourists drive to the Lake District which increases traffic congestion and air pollution in the surrounding areas.
• Conflict: tourists walk on popular paths when climbing Helvellyn which causes footpath erosion.
• Conflict: tourists often let their dogs off leads and the dogs chase sheep. this can frighten sheep which can cause them to miscarry.
• Conflict: tourists often buy holiday homes in national parks which leads to an increase in local house prices, so locals cannot afford housing in the area.
• Conflict: tourists engage in water sports in Lake Windermere which can cause noise pollution and erosion of the banks of the lakes.
• Conflict: unsightly tourist attractions like Hayes Garden are often built which do not blend in with the local area.
• Conflict: tourists often drop litter when out walking, which can be harmful to local wildlife like sheep if they ingest it.
• Conflict: renewable energy - wind farms can be an eyesore and noisy, which affects the peacefulness of local villages.
• Conflict: Farming - farmers can create conflict with the harmful fertilisers they use which effect the environment.
• Conflict: commercial forestry - this is when trees are grown to be sold. the cutting down of trees causes noise pollution and can create traffic congestion with the transport of big trees on lorries.
• Conflict: quarrying is an eyesore and scars the land. Blasting occurs which can cause rock and dust to settle on local farm land.
• Conflict S: timed blasting - blasting only occurs at certain times to create minimal disruption .
• Conflict S: zoning - this is when the lake is separated into different sections for different uses.

  E: this prevents conflicts arising from different groups who want to use the Lake.
• Conflict S: farmers fields - using theses as car parks to prevent tourists parking on grassland.

  E: this stops parking on grassland and prevents erosion, while making a profit for farmers.
• Conflict S: bins - placing bins around national parks to stop people littering.

  E: this was initially effective, however bins began to overflow so tourists were then encouraged to take their litter home.
• Conflict S: traffic solutions - one way streets and pedestrianised streets can be created.

  E: this increases the flow of traffic in small peaceful towns like Ambleside.
• RLD solution: afforestation - planting trees means more co2 is absorbed and tree roots bind the soil together, preventing erosion.

  E; significant areas of the rainforest have been restored however the rate of deforestation is still higher than afforestation.
• RLD solution: selective logging - where trees are only felled once they reach a certain age to give trees a guaranteed life span.

  E: there are still lots of mahogany trees being felled due to their demand and desirability.
• RLD solution: education - this teaches people how they effect the environment and pushes them to change their ways.

  E: an increasing amount of environmentalists are reducing their beef intake to try and reduce global demand for cattle farming.
• RLD Solution: National Parks - these are areas that are protected by law, often home to indigenous tribes.

  E: these prevent logging to occur, however some illegal logging still takes place in some countries.
• RLD solution: agro-forestry - trees and crops are planted on the same land to protect the soil from heavy rainfall and increase nutrient intake.

  E: this allows the soil to become more fertile and for farmers to grow more crops to sell.
• RLD solution: ecotourism- tourists can visit the rainforest while being educated about conservation and the local wildlife from locals who are employed.

  E: money earned from tourism is invested in sustainability and conservation of the rainforest, however this relies on locals being involved in tourism in the area.
• RLD Solution: charities buying areas of rainforest - charities like WWF buy areas of rainforest to protect and restore.

  E: this can lead to areas of the forest being returned to indigenous people to continue their traditional way of life.
