Tourism drives Bali’s economy but harms its ecosystems. Forests shrink, wildlife changes behavior, and biodiversity declines due to habitat loss, pollution and wildlife trade. Coral reefs and forests show clear degradation. Responsible travel—eco‑lodges, low waste, less water use, avoiding wildlife exploitation—can reduce impact and support conservation.

Bali’s rainforest holds unique species found nowhere else. Its biodiversity keeps forests regenerating, soils fertile and ecosystems resilient. Seed dispersers, pollinators and fungi are essential, yet habitat loss, wildlife trade and climate change threaten them. Protecting these species means protecting Bali’s future.
