Transcript (read it after you answer)

News Anchor: Pinecrest National Park has introduced new visitor limits to protect sensitive wildlife habitats and reduce human impact on the environment. Starting this weekend, the number of daily visitors will be capped at 3,000 people. The park has seen a surge in tourism since the pandemic, with annual visitors increasing by nearly 40% over the last three years. Officials say this has led to trail erosion, littering, and increased stress on local wildlife. To manage crowds, the park is launching an online reservation system. Visitors will now need to book day passes in advance, especially during peak summer months. Park Superintendent Raj Patel says the goal is to balance public access with environmental protection. Violators of the new policy may be fined or denied entry.
