Australia's landmark sandstone, considered a site of"great spiritual significance," has been turned into something of a trash heap as tourists flock in droves trying to beat the upcoming climbing ban.
Previously, the climb was not strictly prohibited but visitors were asked to respect the local law and culture by not climbing Uluru. “Instead of climbing, we chose to take the Base of Uluru walk which is about a 10 km circuit walk, which was a great was to take in the beauty and immensity of the rock,” Gaut wrote ABC News via email, describing a roughly 6.2 mile walk.Gaut said that along the way, he spotted mounds of trash.
“Judging by the disrespect witnessed at the Rock, this [climbing] ban can't come quick enough,” he added. “Many species will become desensitized to humans if they become accustomed to finding half-eaten sandwiches and candy bars in populated areas," the officials continued in the post."When bears, coyotes and other animals see people as food sources, it can cause wildlife to become less afraid and more likely to approach humans, creating potentially dangerous situations.”
