environment and human walk hand to hand explain

Answer:
That is precisely the key question for this expedition. In the past few years there have been a number of cases of ‘global bleaching’, with bleaching and death of reefs due to the seawater warming up. A lot of reefs have been badly affected by that, but not in this area, where the ecosystem seems to be resilient. How come? Is it the biology, the enormous diversity that is here, or is it down to the management of the nature reserves? And what can we learn from that for nature reserves in other regions? This area gets promoted for tourism purposes precisely because the reefs are still so beautiful. But how does that affect the reefs, and the people who make a living from them through fishing or income from tourism? The context of tourism is significant. Tourism has more than quadrupled since I first went there 10 years ago: from 900 visitors per year back then to 30,000 now.’
The area around the peninsula, the Bird’s Head Seascape, is the most biodiverse tract of tropical ocean on the planet, housing more than 600 species of coral and 1500 species of fish. The area includes 12 ‘marine protected areas’, making for 35,000 square kilometres of protected marine nature. The expedition is studying two of those marine parks, which are exploited for tourism to differing extents. The programme includes the usual ecological measurements to gauge the quality of the reef. Almost virgin reefs will be compared with places visited by a lot of tourists. But that is not all; this expedition will go further. In Becking’s words, ‘We shan’t just look underwater but also outside it.’ Becking and her team will do sociological and economic research onshore, in the firm conviction that humans and nature are inextricably connected.
