- wildlife habitats shrinking
--> wildlife migrating to places that have less traffic and people

- demising of local natural recourses

-  increased pollution

- overuse of water (problem especially in places that already suffer from drought)

- massive amounts of waste

-   degration and loss of natural ecosystems and aestethic landscapes
- contributes to global warming

- oil spills

- distruction of vegetation

-production of artificial snow due to the importance of snow for arctic tourism -> influence on chemical composition of the soil (Polar Tourism, Maher/Stewart/Lück, 2011)

Finland, Norway)

- To transport the tourists, companies need oil --> possible oil spills --> distruction of habitats and whole ecosystems

- destruction of arctic vegetation because of constant trampling on the consentrated areas

- garbage and pollution --> animals (especially birds) might confuse little pieces of plastic for food and might either choke or get poisoned by the trash

- there were small pop-up stands selling drinks and snacks for the visitors
- trees got cut down from around the tree
- the tree is located in a neighborhood forest and the streets got so flooded with the visitors' cars that people living in the area could not get to their own homes
- the trees condition got worse so they put up a fence to keep the visitors from going too close to it
- overall landscape is not beautiful anymore
