Since modernization man has been tirelessly putting efforts in order to exploit the nature for his own advantage. We have not left the animals too. Endangered species are hunted as well as smuggled from the nation to abroad just for the purpose of earning money.

Because the area is a marshy land, the water quality has been deteriorating as supported by the corresponding pH values. The reason for poor quality is usually because of the pollutants from the towns joining into the lake, the excessive and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the surrounding land area, accumulation of water, forestation which further causes soil erosion and routing of vegetation due to marshy land.

There are other threats too which include permanent flooding because of the thickness of the phumdis which is the result of the Ithai Barrage under the Loktak Multipurpose project.

The hydroelectric power plants constructed on the lake cause back flow of water from the Khordak River and discharge from other lakes and streams with settle down on the lake bed during the dry season.

The Loktak Lake of the National Park has provided for the subsistence of the local people giving them fish vegetation fruits etc. These also generate a small amount of revenue for the local people.
