Gurcharan sir, subjects are related. All plant taxonomists are first ecologists as they see plant and differentiate them on the basis of their habitat and habit. All ecologists are environmentalists as their work is related to environment, the interaction of living and non living things together. So you are a Taxonomist, Ecologist and Environmentalist :)....multi talented !!! The biggest problem is, common people and common tourists in such places are not environment aware. There is no feeling of guilt when someone leaves garbage at such beautiful places and over a long period of time it converts into a huge pile. Such things happen at all the pilgrim places, Haridwar is another such example. There is a huge area on way to rajaji national park, where there is a garbage disposal site. Its so big that multiple villages can be established over it. Similar city is there in Calcutta which is called Salt Lake City. One of the costly areas and built on a garbage disposal site.
