A link from the article says:
> A major threat to the cave is that the government plans to commercialize it by installing transportation systems like cable cars. This would take away from the natural beauty and wonder of the cave. The logic behind the cable cars is to make it easier for tourists to explore the cave, but this modernization may ruin much of its allure because, the cave has not yet been tampered with by man. The system is designed to be able to carry 1,000 visitors to Son Doong in an hour.

It won’t happen because we are what we are, but we should be paying Brazil and DRC etc for preserving more than what they make by cutting and destroying. That would be the reasonable thing to do and it won’t happen. People only take action after it is (way) too late. In personal life (health) and in world affairs.
