Bali's Bold Move: Preserving Nature Over Tourism - The Kelingking Beach Glass Elevator Project

Описание: Bali's authorities have taken a stand for nature by halting the construction of the controversial Glass Elevator Project at Kelingking Beach. This ambitious project, designed to revolutionize access to the iconic cliffside, has been suspended due to missing permits, safety concerns, and environmental violations.
The 182-meter elevator aimed to offer panoramic views and improve accessibility, but its construction sparked alarm among environmental experts and cultural advocates. Large sections of the cliff face were already altered, raising concerns about ecosystem damage and the disruption of Bali's sacred landscape.
With a budget of over IDR 200 billion, the project's future is uncertain. Authorities emphasize the need for sustainable development, ensuring that infrastructure aligns with safety standards and cultural integrity. Kelingking Beach remains open, but the suspension serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between progress and preservation.
