With scientific research gaining more importance and travel
transforming into wanderlust, scientists and travelers with itchy feet have
started exploring virgin untamed habitats. Modern scientists and travelers know
no boundaries, and they do not hesitate to even include poles of the planet in
their research and travel itinerary. This trend has fetched accolades and some
brickbats simultaneously.
Travel by scientific community to untamed areas and regions
like poles is laden with numerous benefits as scientists get a chance to
explore various mysteries connected to our planet and its environment, for
instance, places like Antarctica are often regarded as mine of undiscovered
facts that can reveal vital clues linked to changes in the weather patterns and
their influence on our planet, and crust of continents that have drifted apart
from each other long ago. The long frozen ice caps of these locations contain loads
of information about the changes in quality of air over different periods.
Similarly, travelers foraging into the wild and untamed
areas avail opportunities to learn about the how flora and fauna thrive in
natural habitats, and also to know about why it is extremely essential to
preserve these pockets of wild areas for the well being of our planet.
However, the concept of exploring Ecozones is believed to be
a hazard for the natural habitats. The researchers exploring these territories
often cause more damage to the surroundings in the name of carrying out nature
study, as many seek opportunities to exploit virgin material of these areas for
commercial purposes. Even the rovers who just enter these areas cause similar
level of damage as they often behave irresponsibly when it comes to preserving
the sanctity of these areas.
In conclusion, I feel travelling to remote locations can be
beneficial if undertaken responsibly.
