Rural development, local empowerment and organization, and improvement of the well-being of local communities living around the park is pivotal for the successful implementation of Central Karakorum National Park.
Economics
Strengthening the local economy, foremost the tourism sector and building on the local potentials for cottage industry, as well as retaining a larger share of the value chain in the region is key to increase employment and livelihood opportunities of local people living around Central Karakorum National Park.
Environmental
The key rational for establishment of a national park is first and foremost the conservation of pristine landscapes, unique natural resources, wildlife populations and eco-systems through environmental research, monitoring schemes, natural resource management policies and a range of different efforts targeting conservation.
Development
