Urbanization is inevitable. These local tourist spots need to learn about environmental conservation before it's too late. It's okay to grow tourism, benefit from it, but safe practices need to be in place before the environment is harmed.
In Apo Island (near my hometown), it's not allowed to feed the pawikan and touch them, just observe them from a distance.

Indeed. Malpractices in tourism turns local spots into "hooman wastelands." At least in your area, rules are implemented strictly. Feeding the pawikan might kill them. Touching them may cause animal stress.
