Due to the globalization, more and more people would like to travel all over the world especially some natural areas as these areas are different from their usual environment. But it may cause negative impacts on the natural environment if the number of visitors exceeds its carrying capacity. For example, beaches and coral reefs may be destroyed beyond redemption. When many medium and large size ships enter such environmentally sensitive areas inflict serious damage to coral reefs with their anchors and anchor chains.
As Singapore goes more and more globalize, more and more visitors would like to travel to Singapore. Pulau Ubin is currently receiving more and more visitors due to its increasing popularity as a rustic retreat for hiking, cycling and camping. As a result, some parts of the island have been developed to make way for holiday chalets, which destroy the natural habitats of certain plant and animal species, and threaten their survival. Littering and waste disposal have also polluted the streams and beaches in the main camping sites of the island.
