  Conservation
  Sacred mountains often have restricted access.  Climbing has been banned from Mount Kailash, the source of four major rivers in India, which are also protected from pollution.
  A large forest has been preserved due to its proximity to Mount Kōya-san.
  In the Sacramento Valley in the United States, Shasta Mountain was first revered by the Native American tribe, the Wintu. The Wintu tribe has voiced concerns and asked for support from the government to regulate the activities practiced on the mountain, saying that "they are disturbed by the lack of respect" shown for the piece of land. There is an ongoing debate on whether the more vulnerable and "spiritually desirable" places of the mountain should be closed and maintained only by the Wintu tribe, who see this land as a sacred graveyard of their ancestors, or open to all who seek spiritual fulfillment such as the modern-day group of the I AM.
