Being named a UNESCO World Heritage site is the ultimate feather in the cap for travel destinations.Along with the fame increased popularity,and tourism dollars,the designation brings greater responsibility—both in heritage preservation and sustainable development.More locations are trying to change how travellers interact with these heritages,and will,hopefully,increase the flexibility of these sites in the face of growing environmental impacts and overtourism.
Anyone who's been to the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu knows just how busy its crown jewel,the Inca Citadel,can get.Peru's Ministry of Culture announced last year it would be limiting capacity numbers.
Reduced tourism during the pandemic allowed the team to build new routes to better distribute travellers that currently crowd the site.In the future,with new routes and realtime monitoring of possible impacts,they hope to increase the capacity up to almost 6,000.
Tourists behaving disrespectfully (lying down in the grass,running,shouting,eating,and whistling are all against the rules) is still a major concern.Bastante says they're hoping to address this by carrying out visitor fines,reducing the maximum group size from 16 to 12,and building a new visitor center.
In Greece,as climate changeinduced flames rage closer to the ancient sites of Olympia and the Acropolis of Athens,intergovernmental organizations are pushing to use new technology to save UNESCO World Heritage sites from natural disasters.The UNESCO World Heritage Centre and the Hellenic Group on Earth Observation teamed up to launch a new global platform this spring,which will use realtime satellite data,advanced sensors,and artificial intelligence to quickly identify the presence of wildfires,floods,and landslides near heritage sites and create postdisaster assessments to better shield vulnerable places.
"This is now the era when most countries are trying to build national adaptation plans due to climate change but in most of these plans,the cultural heritage piece is missing," says Evangelos Gerasopoulos,director of the Greek GEO office. "Symbolically,we are trying to use Ancient Greece,the cradle of western civilization,to mobilize efforts.If we forget the past,we're doing nothing for our future."

2.New Year's resolutions(決心) usually are like some of those promises that are meant to be broken.The word "New" in the new year,puts a lot of pressure on starting over and turning a new leaf.But you must remember you cannot just become a different person overnight when the clock strikes 12.(1)
To start fresh this New Year's Day,here are a few tips setting realistic new years' resolutions in order to avoid the burden of disappointment next year.
Choose a very specific goal
Unclear plans like "lose weight" "exercise more" or "write more" are goals with no teeth.
They are unclear plans and desires,and are very easy to explain away due to how unclear they are.(2)
(3)
Once you have chosen your goals,make a very detailed plan of how you will reach that goal.Having a plan and a pathway can help you imagine your progress and won't make you impatient for immediate results.That way you will have already imagined what progress would look like for you in say,3 months,5 months,7 months or every day depending on your goals.
Get yourself a social group
In today's social media world,it is easy to find a group of like-minded individuals interested in sharing your goal.Get yourself a social group like this.However,just as there is this bright side to having a social group,the problem is the pressure.Don't get consumed by social media and what others are doing.(4)
Accept failure and forgive yourself.
(5)
A.Make a plan to reach that goal
B.Be patient with your progress
C.Instead,set goals like "exercise 20 minutes every day" or "lose 15 pounds"
D.Despite all your efforts,it is possible that you might fail or make a mistake
E.Therefore,new year's resolutions usually end up in failure
F.Change is a difficult process-the key words being "difficult" and "process"
G.Remember you have this group only for support,not for comparison發(fā)布:2024/11/11 11:30:2組卷:4引用:6難度:0.5 -
