Climate change

Climate change has resulted in glaciers retreating in the area leading to droughts in recent years.[5] Falling snow levels have worried villagers about access to water and also decreased agricultural output.[6] Local NGOs have experimented with dams and artificial glaciers to freeze water before it can flow off the land.[5]

Tourism and commercialization

Demul's inhabitants have benefited from significant development of tourism in recent years.[7] However, there are concerns related to commercialization.[8]
