+ add your ownLike all humans, also tourists are on a chase after views and hence they are disturbing the peace of nature.
Foolish consumers - mostly thinking when it is too late!
Better late than never!
Thanks for the article.
Poor little one. And humans are responsible again.
So sad, maybe more education is needed. 100 years from now long after we are gone, the world will olny read and see pictures of so so many animals, birds ,fish, and the enviroments in which they lived, all thanks to us the human race.
:( Life is hard in some places and people do things in the name of making a living... we are all guilty of exploiting our co-creatures and wrecking the planet... :(
Poor little guys. I hope they start doing more to discourage tourists from getting so close and disturbing them with all that noise.
How horrible.
so sad
This is so sad. Ethics needs to precede "entertainment".
so sadly noted...........
