Doi Tung has an impact on the environment, both natural and man-made. By It involves many activities that can have adverse environmental effects.
Many of these impacts are linked with the construction of general infrastructure. The negative impacts of tourism development can gradually destroy the environmental resources. It can put enormous pressure on an area and lead to impacts such as soil erosion, increased pollution, discharges into the sea, natural habitat loss, increased pressure on endangered species and heightened vulnerability to forest fires.
