New Zealand's Lake Wanaka Tree Is Being Destroyed by Tourists

"The Lake Wanaka Tree, a lone willow often featured on Instagram, is suffering damage due to tourists climbing on it. Its branches have broken under the strain, exacerbated by its brittle wood and challenging environment. Efforts are being made by the New Zealand Tourism Board to prevent further damage by installing warning signs and considering other measures."
