(Oranjestad)āThe organization Aruba Birdlife Conservation has in the past raised concerns about the phenomenon of ārock stackingā in the area of Baby Beach and warned about the dangers it poses, especially for children.
As known, ārock stackingā is not illegal in Aruba, but its impact on nature is harmful as the stones form part of the natural habitat of small animal species living in Arubaās wilderness. Experts warn that ārock stackingā could even lead certain species to extinction.
In Aruba, much of the ārock stackingā also occurs near Arikok National Park. Although this activity is not illegal in Aruba, it may be time for park authorities to impose stricter regulations on this activity.
Tourists often believe that the meaning behind this activity is making a wish, but they do not realize its negative impact.
Aruba Birdlife Conservationās post not only raises alarms about the activity but also now that this phenomenon has reached Baby Beach, some of the stacked stone towers are up to 1.7 meters high, which can be very dangerous, especially for children.
