I am writing to inform you that your safety and the environment in the park are in poor condition. As a frequent visitor, I noticed a few issues that need to be addressed. Firstly, I noticed that the inside of the entire park is very unattractive, there are no significant architectures in it, it is built terribly, I constantly see overgrown paths, bushes and much more.

In addition, the garbage scattered throughout the park not only kills the natural beauty, but also poses a threat to children running around the park. It is very unpleasant to see plastic bags and bottles scattered everywhere, which are killing the ecosystem.

In fact, try adding something new to our park. For example, make children feel connected to nature so that both adults and children understand that parks are worth visiting. Try to remove the evil guards at the entrance, because they bring negativity. Add architecture to make caged wild animals feel at home and less stressed. Give the animals something tasty to make them more happy. I saw a lot of reviews saying that the park needs a pool! Yes, I understand, making a pool is difficult, but try to please your visitors. If the park is not cleaned, an unpleasant odor appears, which discourages visitors from spending time outdoors. Overall, these problems reduce the attractiveness of the park.

In conclusion, I would like to note that the situation in Synevyr Park is not very good. however, I want you to take action to resolve these issues and restore our park to its former glory. Establish schedules for regular maintenance and upgrades of playgrounds. In my opinion, this will greatly help the park, and families will spend more time in Synevyr Park.

Yours sincerely,

Makarenko Yevghen

A lot of tourists from Ukraine or other countries who had visited western Ukraine did not pass by this place. Many different plants, animals or places for walking. The number of vegetation species growing in the park is 1726, of which 53 are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine.

The park is home to a huge number of species of ridge creatures - 169, of which 43 are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine.

This national destination is named after Lake Synevyr, the biggest lake in the Carpathians.

At this moment the park is still working despite

the war in the country. You can visit Synevyr at the time you want and you will not regret it as all you could see at the park before war is still there.

As a result, this park one of the most famous in Ukraine for nowadays. To my mind, workers of this natural place did a big work to safe this park and deserve your visit.

Yours faithfully,

I am contacting you after reading Young Traveller magazine. Even though I read Nick’s contribution, I would like to point out that there are other tourist resorts where people stand for sustainable tourism.

I have seen an interesting article about the Masai Mara National Reserve, in Kenya. It is a safari, where lions, elephants, rhinos, African buffalos, and giraffes live. Also, it is a place for wildebeest and zebra migration from Tanzania. Many of these animals find there their natural habitat. Also, this park is one of the most popular tourist attractions and is vital to Kenya’s economy.

Most people have an opinion that the park should be closed to tourists because people only harm the animals. They do not always clean up the garbage after themselves, and scare wild animals. Of course, it is a big problem, but the government doesn’t agree with this idea, because they earn money from tourists. They are convinced, that without tourism they can’t keep the area in normal conditions. So, people develop the Greater Maasai Mara Ecosystem Management Plan and the Maasai Mara Management Plan. Without a doubt, the situation is improving and the government completed the task and made sustainable tourism.

As a result, strict rules for tourists have been introduced. They have to clean up after themselves, they can't get too close to animals and annoy them too much. There are also more guards to keep an eye on the animals and visitors. The consequence of such a decision is that animals are left in peace, people can see wild animals, the government earns money, and can improve park. This could trigger other resorts to care more about their natural environments.

I am  contacting you after reading Nick’s letter in Young Traveller magazine. Although  I understand Nick's opinion about other resorts, I would like to point out that many of them    also take care of their natural environments. One  of the representatives of such resorts is Bundala National Park.

Having just returned from a holiday to beautiful Bundala National Park, I have personally seen excellent handling and protection of the park. Bundala National Park is a protected national park in the south east of Sri Lanka. It is an important wintery ground for migratory birds in the country. The park  was declared as a wildlife sanctuary in 1969 and was later given the status of national park in 1993. Actually, Bundala is the first wetland to be declared as a Ramsar site in the country. It is also the fourth national park in Sri Lanka to be designated as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.

Burndala National Park is popular for its birds which includes the Blue-talied bee eater, Greater flamingo, Waterfowl and many other large water birds. Apart from birds, the park also includes many species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish. At present, the biodiversity of Bundala National Park is facing several threats, which could be summerized under habitat deterioration and degradation, direct exploitation of species and drought. However, the environmental organization is already dealing with these problems.

   The situation in Bundala National park is not perfect; nevertheless, it is undeniable that the park is protected , as well as the wild animals that live there. To my mind, this park is very beautiful and interesting and, moreover, proves that such places can be protected.

I am contacting you after reading John's comments in The New York Times.Although I understand John's concerns,I would like to point out that there is a lot of time devoted to the protection of wildlife and animal safety. Having just returned from a holiday to beautiful Serengeti National Park.I have personally seen sustainable tourism in action.Serengeti National Park is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife,including the Big Five. Recognizing the importance of preserving this natural treasure, the Tanzanian government, in collaboration with conservation organizations, has implemented stringent measures to mitigate the impacts of tourism. In the Serengeti, strict regulations govern visitor activities, particularly in sensitive areas. Off-road driving is strictly prohibited to prevent habitat degradation, and designated tracks ensure minimal disturbance to the wildlife.

The situation in Serengeti is not perfect: nevertheless the Serengeti serves as a beacon of hope for sustainable tourism. By prioritizing the protection of its natural heritage, the park continues to thrive as a premier destination while safeguarding its inhabitants for generations to come. It is my belief that the success of the Serengeti could inspire other destinations to prioritize environmental stewardship and embrace a more sustainable approach to tourism.

Yours faithfully,

I am contacting you after reading traveler’s comments in Travel magazine. Although, I understand traveler’s comments, I would like to point out that there is a big importance of protecting natural beauty in the National parks.

Having just returned from Saechsische Shweiz National park in Germany. I got unforgettable experience there and have seen sustainable tourism. Saxson Switzerland is the German national park which is located between Dresden and Prague (CZ). Region is one of the most spectacular natural landscapes of Europe. Travel starts from Dresden third largest city in eastern Germany.

The beginning of the nineteenth century brought tourism to Saxon Switzerland. One of the first trolleybuses that ran through the park attracted visitors to witness the unique and historic landscape. Hiking one of the greatest things to do in the Saxson Switzerland. Landscapes, big rocks and undoubtedly the best views. While people who love nature views can see different beauties and rarities, people who interested in ancient live can visit old castles on the top of the rocks.  A lot of people know about the severity of German people; nevertheless, the park is very clean, and the air around is really fresh. So, the reason that government is interested in saving nature beauty.

The situation in the Saxson Switzerland is perfect. Great example of caring natural values. To my mind the strict and rules of parking near the forest and clean roads is provided by government reaction. I hope that German National Park experience could trigger others national parks.

Your faithfully,

I'm also interested in natural beauty, so I can talk about places with some natural wildness that are still comfortable for people. These places offer a unique blend of adventure and relaxation, making them ideal for nature enthusiasts who seek both excitement and tranquility.

I agree that it may be a good place for turtles, but I think it is a little bit poorly developed. While people can be loud at midday, another question is why it was shown to people, and maybe it was made only for money. Proper development is essential to balance tourism with conservation.

While Dubai National Park may have some commercial aspects, it's still a fantastic destination with plenty of positives. Firstly, its natural beauty is breathtaking, with desert landscapes and diverse wildlife, much larger than your place. Despite its popularity, you can still find quiet spots to enjoy nature.

The park offers educational opportunities about conservation. Visitors can engage in eco-friendly activities like guided nature walks and birdwatching. The park's infrastructure, such as well-kept trails, makes it easy to explore without harming the environment. It's a great place for outdoor activities such as hiking and walking, and just having a good time. Additionally, the park provides amenities like visitor centers and picnic areas, enhancing the overall experience for tourists.
