喜马拉雅烟花“难散”,是谁让它一路“升腾”

Core Viewpoint - The controversy surrounding the firework display organized by the outdoor brand Arc'teryx and artist Cai Guo-Qiang in the Himalayas has sparked significant public discussion and backlash, leading to a decline in the stock price of Anta Sports, the parent company of Arc'teryx [2][3]. Group 1: Environmental Impact - Experts have criticized the notion that using biodegradable materials absolves the event from ecological responsibility, emphasizing that the degradation process is highly dependent on local biological activity, which is fragile in the area [2][3]. - The ecological restoration of alpine meadows can take decades or even centuries, highlighting the long-term impact of such events [2]. Group 2: Regulatory Oversight - The local government had previously approved the firework display, maintaining that the procedures were compliant and that the ecology was not harmed, despite the subsequent backlash [3][4]. - The environmental impact assessment law requires projects with minimal environmental impact to file a registration form, but the approval process for this event appears to have overlooked stricter regulations applicable to the Himalayas [3][5]. Group 3: Broader Implications - The event was part of Arc'teryx's "Upward to Beauty" series, which aimed to promote cultural tourism in the region, suggesting that economic incentives may have influenced the decision-making process [4]. - The investigation into the firework display should extend beyond this incident to examine other projects that may also be violating ecological regulations under the guise of compliance [5].
