🪸💔 Overtourism is damaging Hong Kong’s nature.⁣
⁣
Crowds are flooding Hong Kong's countryside and fragile ecosystems — and the impact is getting harder to ignore.⁣
⁣
October this year, greenpeace_hk visited Sharp Island, part of Hong Kong’s UNESCO Global Geopark, home to the second-highest coral reef coverage in the city at 71%. Shocking scenes of coral trampling and sea star digging revealed how unregulated tourism can harm the already fragile ecosystems.⁣
⁣
We’re urging the government to adopt an ecology-first ecotourism policy that includes:⁣
🔍 Proper ecological studies and carrying-capacity assessments⁣
🗺️ Protected zones for high-value habitats⁣
💚 Join us in defending our natural home.⁣
