主办方称烟花所用的色粉为生物可降解材料，曾多次通过国内外成分与烟雾检测，确认其污染物排放符 合环保标准。但笼统的解释显然很难说服公众。由于可降解材料的降解速率与温度有很大关系，在生态 系统脆弱且温度较低的高海拔地区，生物降解材料的分解效率与平原地区并不能相提并论，因此在平原 地区符合环保标准不代表在高海拔地区也符合环保标准。而活动主办方也没有拿出详细真实的检测数 据，因此质疑声越来越大。 当地称此次烟花秀活动不需要进行环境评估，但需乡、村、县三级政府同意，当地政府此前开过多次会 议研究选址、评估调查周围有哪些野生动物等，最终的选址不属于生态保护区，周围无人居住。这一说 法也遭到质疑。根据相关法律法规，环境评估的适用对象是建设项目，而并非烟花秀这样的活动，但是 这并不能证明这场活动就是合法合规的。活动主办方以及当地至今未公开活动地点周边野生动物活动情 况的具体评估调查报告，对于活动具体地址和范围是否属于生态保护区也尚未出示明确的证据，这种无 理无据、讲不清道不明的回复，难以平复公众对活动选址的争议。 对于此次在青藏高原上举办的烟花秀，笔者认为，讲不清、辨不明是引发激烈争论的一个主要原因。 就在前段时间，某户外主 ...

Core Viewpoint - The case of illegal crossing in the Qinling core protection area highlights the growing concern over ecological damage and safety risks associated with outdoor adventure activities in protected regions [1][2][3]. Ecological Impact - Illegal crossing activities have led to significant ecological damage, including soil compaction, vegetation trampling, water pollution, and disturbance of wildlife habitats [1][2]. - The presence of trash, such as plastic packaging and food waste, further harms the sensitive ecosystem, accelerating the degradation of fragile geological landscapes [1]. Safety Risks - The complex terrain and unpredictable weather in the Qinling region contribute to frequent safety incidents, with untrained adventurers facing risks such as hypothermia, getting lost, and altitude sickness [2]. - Rescue operations require substantial public resources and pose safety risks to rescue personnel [2]. Management Challenges - Current management efforts, including checkpoints and patrols, are often circumvented by violators using alternative routes and nighttime crossings [2][3]. - The proliferation of online guides and posts promoting illegal crossings complicates enforcement and increases the difficulty of managing these activities [2][3]. Underlying Factors - A lack of risk awareness among adventurers drives the trend of illegal crossings, with some seeking the thrill of conquering nature without understanding the associated dangers [3]. - Commercial interests from unqualified outdoor clubs and travel agencies exacerbate the issue by promoting illegal activities for profit, often neglecting participant qualifications and safety measures [3]. Regulatory Shortcomings - Existing laws provide insufficient deterrence against individual violations, primarily relying on minor fines and educational measures [3]. - The vastness of the Qinling area and the involvement of multiple management departments create challenges in coordination and effective oversight [3]. Media Influence - Media coverage often romanticizes adventure activities while downplaying the ecological damage and rescue costs, failing to provide adequate warnings and education [4]. Recommendations for Improvement - A comprehensive governance approach is suggested, including stricter legal enforcement and increased penalties for violators, such as blacklisting and financial accountability for rescue costs [5][6]. - Innovative monitoring technologies, such as satellite surveillance and drones, should be employed to enhance real-time oversight of protected areas [6]. - Development of safe, eco-friendly tourism alternatives is recommended to meet public demand for nature experiences while ensuring compliance with regulations [6]. - Continuous public education campaigns are essential to raise awareness about the importance of ecological protection and the risks of illegal activities [6].
