 Example 2 
Once, travelling to remote natural environments was not possible because of 
different difficulties associated with transportation, communications and knowledge. 
However, technological advances have made it possible for people to travel to 
remote places in the world, such as the South Pole.
First of all, new and cheaper means of transportation have made the South Pole more 
accesible both to scientists and tourists. Thus, this 
accessibility
carries some 
disadvantages for the environment itself. In fact, the South Pole is a remote, harsh 
and delicate environment, which has been preserved during centuries thanks to its 
natural and isolated conditions. 
Any 
Increase in the number of visitors of any kind 
carries out different threats to the ecosystem. For example, the more tourists arrive, 
the more litter is likely to be thrown in this environment. Also, the environment itself 
has to be altered in order to receive more people. Buildings have to be constructed to 
foster people coming to visit the South Pole, which implies a disturbance of the 
biodiversity of this particular ecosystem.
On the contrary, History has shown also that development can bring more benefits 
than disadvantages, when carried out properly. For scientists, being able to 
investigate remote natural environments, like the South Pole, means that knowledge 
is expanded. It will help new scientific discoveries to be made, and thus broaden our 
understanding of the world. This development is also a mayor break through because 
tourists can visit natural ecosystems that were once only reserved for scientists. It 
helps them to learn the importance of that particular environment, and thus will 
increase the possibility of taking care of it in the future.
In conclusion, development in travel to remote natural environment
s 
has different 
perspectives and consequences in the ecosystem as a whole. It should be addressed 
carefully so that no major negative impacts will affect
it
. Development is crucial for 
understanding the world we live in, and the way we can protect it for future 
generations to come.
