The distraction caused my mobile phone
One Twitter user raised the question of whether mobile phones should be banned in protected areas, highlighting the distracting background noise of mobile calls during the spectacle.
This incident sparks a broader discussion on the impact of human presence in wildlife habitats and the need to preserve them as undisturbed sanctuaries.
Need to strike a balance
Banning mobile phones in protected areas could minimize disturbances to wildlife and maintain the tranquillity of these habitats. However, a balance must be struck, as mobile phones also serve essential communication and safety purposes in remote areas.
