Eco-tourism has emerged as the new buzzword for the Uttaranchal Forest Development Corporation(UDFC) facing stiff competition in the sale of wood. UDFC is cashing in on the rising mercury across the country by conducting tours across the hill state for school children and others. The corporation has earned a net profit of Rs 2.5 lakh by conducting 20 eco-tourism camps in the last two months.
