Corbett National Park (CNP), Uttarakhand, India is currently facing pressure of encroachments from human settlements around the buffer zone leading to increasing human and animal conflicts. In the present study, we have analysed the extent of land-use/landcover (LULC) changes between 1976 and 2011 using medium-spatial-resolution satellite data in and around CNP. Future projections have also been generated using CA-Markov and agent-based SaarS model. The study highlights that unlike in the past decades, the projected LULC may undergo restricted growth in built-up area agriculture.
