The recommendation was contained in the body\u2019s world heritage strategic plan released on Friday and contradicts the policy adopted by the new government. The environment minister, Andrew Powell, announced last month that he did not intend to set limits on visitation on the 20 busiest days of the year, as planned by Labor.<\/p>\n<p>According to the plan, poor management would \u201cdestroy not only the environment, but the very experience being sought by visitors and has implications for visitor safety\u201d. There has been a continuing spate of attacks on tourists by the island\u2019s protected population of dingoes, known as wongari. Many of the victims are children. At peak periods, the island is visited by tens of thousands of tourists. Its handful of park rangers are sometimes unable to maintain rules designed to mitigate habituation of dingoes, like bans on food in prescribed areas, she said.<\/p>\n<p>The committee also warned overtourism would dramatically increase in years to come. The department estimates 400,000 people visit K\u2019gari annually, though the number is disputed and the committee report estimates the true number at between 800,000 and 1 million. They expect it to double in the next decade, particularly during the 2032 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2025\/feb\/10\/kgari-at-risk-of-being-destroyed-by-overtourism-world-heritage-advisory-committee-warns\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-656\/\">K\u2019gari at risk of being \u2018destroyed\u2019 by overtourism, world heritage advisory committee warns<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,17913,16837,17914],"class_list":["post-137360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-kgari","tag-overtourism","tag-world-heritage"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137360\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
