The wet season lasts from June to September…and you can get tropical cyclones in this season…70% of all rain is in this season The winter is dry and cool (9 ° C) … this lasts from November to April…

Thanks to Sarah Todd and her colleagues at Stanchester High School, Somerset made available through Why is it being managed? To preserve and prevent loss of its value as a world heritage site. Extraction of forest resources eg. Tigers, has had a negative effect on the environment and so is regulated by laws. Eco-tourism is encouraged so the area can be enjoyed but at the same time protected. Eco-tourism is sustainable tourism which uses local resources, renewable energy and does not damage the environment. You can only travel on water ways, your money goes to locals, you are always escorted and you have minimum impact on this area. Eco-tourism brings in revenue to the country and it provides raw materials for wood based industries. Traditional forest produce eg. Timber, pulpwood and fuelwood. Large scale harvest of non wood forest products takes place regularly.
