The Everest Summiteers Association (ESA) has issued a press release highlighting critical environmental and safety concerns in the fragile ecosystem of the Himalayan regions, including Everest. This comes in response to the ongoing increase in mountaineering activities, which have raised alarms about ecological balance and climber safety. Cybersecurity: Threats and safety measures Stakeholders express concerns over fragile Everest base camp condition Shiva Bahadur Sapkota, General Secretary at the ESA, stated, "The ESA has been raising concerns regarding climate change and its impact on the Nepalese Himalayan regions for the last few years to the government as well as international organizations for the conservation and preservation of these regions." Despite raising the issue of environmental preservation in the Himalayan region, including Everest, and advocating for strong legislation over the past 20 years, the ESA laments the lack of concrete efforts to promulgate such laws, despite initial steps by the government, as stated in the release. The ESA has been actively organizing cleanup campaigns in the Everest region since 2006. Under its leadership, more than 8.1 tons of garbage were collected from above the Everest Base Camp in 2011, which were then repurposed into products for revenue generation, according to Sapkota. This year, the first Vice President Diwas Pokhrel, as well as a team from the ESA, including Secretary Sapkota and central executive committee members, conducted a thorough inspection of the Everest Base Camp (EBC) and areas above it. They subsequently made public several key concerns and demands: The Everest Summiteers Association urges all stakeholders to carefully study these issues and take necessary actions to ensure the sustainable management of Everest Base Camp and surrounding areas.
