How are tourism negatively affecting jungles?

Tourism can negatively affect jungles through habitat destruction, as infrastructure development like roads and hotels encroaches on natural areas. Increased foot traffic can lead to soil erosion, damage to vegetation, and disruption of wildlife. Additionally, pollution from waste and noise can harm delicate ecosystems and disturb the balance of local flora and fauna. Over-tourism can also strain local resources, pushing communities to exploit natural areas further.
