The adaptation of people to various ecological and climatic conditions
The extent of volcanic action by various United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) world heritage sites provide a possible truncation of the devastating effects. Some of these sites have experienced massive volcanic activity. The choice of Ujung Kulon National Park in Indonesia and Yellowstone National Park in The United States of America is vital in providing a study of the extent of volcanic action.
It is essential to protect these sites since they have unique characteristics that are crucial in scientific study. Inside the Ujung Kulon National Park, there is the Krakatau volcano well known in the study of the modern volcanic phenomenon. The last volcanic action of Mount Krakatau had effects felt in the northern hemisphere in addition to an approximate of 36000 deaths. It is possible to predict an eruption that can occur at the Yellowstone caldera after looking at a historical figure
Presence of these sites attracts tourists who find it interesting in viewing them and doing their study. This activity of tourist visiting these sites is vital in developing the local economy. Entrance fee charged together with money paid to the tour guide earns revenue. Promoting the local economy occurs as the tourist will have to rent a place to lay their heads at night, thus enhancing the hotel industry. Airports and sectors that provide travel services register income from tourists.
Looking at the cultural aspects, both of these two sites have their way of life. The adaptation of people to various ecological and climatic conditions makes them have a unique way of doing things. These sites are also significant in the cultural practices of individuals. It is thus necessary to protect the heritage sites so as not to lose these different unique practices found all around the globe. The diverse nature of the world makes it an exciting place to live.
