Abstract: 

The present study assessed the crop damage and extent of conflict between local people and Blue bulls, determined the carrying capacity of the Lumbini Development Trust (LDT) area for Blue bull and the population status of Blue bull in the LDT area. This study proposes a participatory action plan for effective management of Blue bull which would support sustainable tourism and contribute to the local economy of the study area. The findings of this research would be useful not only for the LDT area, but also for the proper management of Blue bull populations in other parts of the country to ensure their long-term survival in their natural habitat.
