Xiao Pan, did you see the news? There was a fireworks show in Tibet that sparked a lot of controversy.

Yes, I did. The villagers said the fireworks had a strong smell, and they're worried it could harm animals and plants.

That's right. The environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is unique, and plants grow very slowly. If it's damaged, it's hard to recover.

Teacher, I remember that snow leopards there are also afraid of loud sounds, right?

Exactly. Experts say the noise and light from the fireworks can make snow leopards very anxious, and the homes of small animals could also be destroyed.

So even art events can cause problems for the environment. Humans need to be more careful.

Yes. The plateau is an important ecological barrier for China. We must remember the principle of 'minimal disturbance'.

I think protecting the environment is more important than watching fireworks. I want to study these issues in the future.
