Common Human Impacts: 

 

Humans have impacted the sustainability of my chosen landscape (12 Apostles) by engaging in a variety of destructive activities such as not walking on the specifically built paths, polluting, construction and digging, and sewage leaks into the ocean. Similarly, as humans work to reduce global warming, the large and elegant lime stone stacks suffer as climate change raises the height and seize of the waves in the ocean, resulting in more waste water. Conversely, this causes a significant increase in the rate of erosion, implying that the 12 Apostles is racing against time, as it will soon be completely gone and only a few ruins remain.

Predictions For the Future If Action Is Not Taken:

It is critical that we, as humans, take action to preserve the 12 Apostles because erosion would cause the elegant and monumental lime stacks to disappear. Furthermore, this would cause even more cliffs and arches to erode into smaller rocks, eventually collapsing the entire structure. At the current rate, with all of the issues going on, the 12 Apostles will be extinct in about 100 years, but if the current circumstances continue, the 12 Apostles will be extinct in a few decades. Unfortunately, this would mean that future generations would be unable to witness the spectacular view.

Later on, all of the wildlife that lives there would have to migrate to a different location and find a new habitat, causing them to all become extinct. As a result, one of Australia's most famous locations would no longer exist, causing tourists to lose interest in the country. Similarly, this would cause our economic rate to fall, resulting in a significant increase in unemployment.

​

Consequently, from the above it is crystal clear to how if action is not taken to preserve the location, this would generally cause several bad issues to occur, affecting the whole of our nation. 

 

Suggestions On Ways To Protect The 12 Apostles:

​

• We could prevent excess water from being leaked into the ocean, for example, to protect the 12 Apostles. Furthermore, if this is done, less waste water will enter the ocean and erode and crumble the limestone stacks, allowing future generations to see these graceful limestone stacks.

​

• Another way to preserve the 12 Apostles is to avoid damaging (building, replacing, damaging, or littering) the cliffs, caves, and arches near the ocean, as this would allow those rocks to erode into the new Apostles. As a result, future generations will be able to see one of Australia's most beautiful gifts.

​

• However, some simple and general practises that could be used to endure the 12 Apostles include spreading the word about it to others, raising awareness throughout Australia and, eventually, the entire world. Furthermore, by not littering, fishing in the area, harming and feeding wildlife, and not staying on the paths, we can collectively prevent several damages from occurring and allow this wonderful location to be perceived by future generations.

​

 Conclusion:

   

Ultimately, it is unavoidable that if action is not taken to preserve the 12 Apostles, this magnificent tourist attraction will cease to exist and will not be seen by future generations. Further, it is very possible that we humans can create new Apostles to replace the current ones, as nature's ways cannot be denied, as erosion is a natural cycle, and the current 8 remaining limestone stacks will erode into the ocean in a few hundred years or so.
