“For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first... Now, in some cases, we're racing to be the last,” said the New York Times' Paige McClanahan. This is the spirit at the heart of last - chance tourism, a rising industry.
Last - chance tourism is about seeing the last of something, that's to say, visiting places before they disappear. Rising temperature and water levels mean that we may never get another chance to see certain islands, glaciers(冰川), animals, and so on before they disappear.
This may sound sad, but some people are using last - chance tourism as a way to spread environmental awareness. One example is “the Sea of Ice” in Chamonix, France. The Chamonix ski resort(度假胜地) opened a glacier museum in 2012. There tourists can learn about glaciers and how climate change influences places like “the Sea of Ice”. This effort seems to have an effect. A 2020 survey showed that 80 percent of visitors would “try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it”.
Although it has these advantages, last - chance tourism may also be speeding up the effects of climate change. As more people rush to endangered natural places, they create a bigger and bigger carbon(碳) footprint, leading to the destruction of these places in the end.
At the end of the day, it's not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it's even more important to avoid making it more terrible.
