没有旅游业的地球，福祸相依

在航班取消，邮轮停运，度假计划被纷纷搁

置的情况下，全球碳排放量直线下降。疫情

之前，野生动物很少会在挤满了游客的度假

胜地活动，现在则突然出现在这些地方。在

阿拉斯加这样的地方，邮轮的停运让来自发

动机的噪声不复存在，座头鲸能够听到彼此

之间的呼叫。

这是好的一面。另一方面，游客的消失也造

成了意想不到的破坏，尤其是在一些发展中

国家，靠旅游业谋生的人和野生动物都深受

其害。许多国家野生动物保护和执法的经费

来源都有赖于旅游业。随着相关税收锐减，

动物保护的预算被削减，导致有些地区盗猎

和非法捕捞的情况增多。非法砍伐的数量攀

升，这对于环境保护来说可谓是双重的危

害。

从博茨瓦纳犀牛盗猎事件的增多，到阿拉斯

加噪音污染的减少，旅游业的衰颓在全球范

围内有着深远的影响。接下来的问题是，哪

些影响会持续，哪些会随着疫情的平复逐渐

消失。
