🌊🌿 Exploring the new wall near the harbor in Gili Air! 🏝️

The new wall standing tall, guarding the road with strength and determination. But in its efforts to protect, it seems to have caused some unintended consequences... 😯

While the road remains safe behind the wall, sinkholes and beach erosion have started to appear nearby, raising concerns about the impact on the delicate ecosystem. 🤔 It's a reminder that our actions, no matter how well-intentioned, can have ripple effects on nature. 🌍

Let's hope that a thorough assessment of the situation will be conducted to understand the full extent of the impact and find sustainable solutions.
