One example of tourism’s conflicting consequences?

The living root bridges in northeastern India. These

arboreal wonders—often trained by locals over

decades or centuries—attract visitors, who in turn

fuel the economy through homestays and tours.

But Yadav, while working on a National Geographic

Society–funded project in 2017, saw how bridges made

to support only a few people were regularly swarmed

by selfie seekers. This has prompted some groups in

the region to regulate access to the treasures.

WHO

An India-based molecular

biologist turned nature

photographer and National

Geographic Explorer

WHERE

Nohwet, India

WHAT

Nikon D850 with a 24-70mm

lens (and a long exposure

that caused motion blur)
