Why is Varkala cliff under threat in Kerala, and what can tourists do?

Take a look at this visual. This is one of the popular tourist spots in Kerala and it is in danger. But how? Every year, Keralas Wakala Cliff experiences erosion in different areas during the monsoon season. This has led to a decrease in tourists visiting the spot. But why is Wakila Cliff fragile? The Cliff is not composed of solid rocks. Its foundation rock is approximately 40 meters below the surface. And that's not all, over the last couple of months, the Cliff has encountered 15 small and large landslides. Minister of State for Tourism Suresh Kopi visited the tourist spot and assessed the current status. He said in a quote war color cliffs will be protected. Everything will be done scientifically. The government will also engage exports for the protection of these cliffs. Wokler Cliff is 6.4 kilometers long and is divided into 3 sections. The north, the South and the Etawah cliffs. They were granted National Geological Monument status by the GSI in 2014. According to geologists, the Cenozoic sedimentary formation is a unique feature of Vakola Cliffs. As per the GSI deputy director, tourists need to use only the designated pathway on the cliffs to walk. They should not disturb the natural vegetation on the Cliff as it supports the soil consolidation. They should avoid venturing into edges of the Cliff, especially in big groups. Efforts have been made throughout the years to study how to maintain this extraordinary creation. However, not much progress has been achieved.
