While much of our programme has focused on New Zealand, it is important that we also consider the environment in other places as well. One of the most unusual and spectacular sites to visit outside of New Zealand is called Machu Picchu. It is an ancient city that was built high up in the mountains in the country of Peru in South America. You have to take a train and/or walk through a series of mountains and valleys to reach it.
Over the past few decades millions of tourists have made the trek to Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, this has damaged the area and the local government has decided to restrict the number of visitors to the site each year. This decision has upset a lot of tourists who really want to see Machu Picchu but aren’t allowed to go.
On your blog, tell us what you think about the government’s decision to restrict the number of tourists able to visit this special site. Is it fair? Be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do.
I 100% agree with the government’s decision. The environment has been damaged enough we don’t our environment to get worse by the minute. The environment is why we live do you really want to take the risk of not living. Without the environment we don’t exist. Many tourists would love to visit Machu Picchu I wouldn’t blame them it’s a beautiful place but soon it won’t be beautiful for long if tourists want to keep visiting this beautiful place they need to agree with government's decision
