Abstract This Assessment Update by the Environmental Effects Panel (EEAP) of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) considers interactive effects solar UV radiation, global warming, and other weathering factors on plastics. The illustrates significance radiation in decreasing durability plastic materials, degradation debris, formation micro- nanoplastic particles accompanying leaching potential toxic compounds. Micro- nanoplastics have been found all ecosystems, atmosphere, humans. While biological risks are not yet well-established, widespread increasing occurrence pollution is reason for continuing research monitoring. Plastic debris persists after its intended life soils, water bodies atmosphere as well living organisms. To counteract accumulation plastics environment, lifetime novel or alternatives should better match functional products, with eventual breakdown releasing harmless substances to environment.

Protected areas are prime for ecotourism development, attracting large numbers of visitors to an abundance ecologically significant and often sensitive flora fauna. The current study identified adverse impacts in four prominent tourist hotspots Iran, namely Lar National Park, Jajrud Area with Sustainable Use Natural Resources, Tangeh Vashi Monument, Kavdeh Wildlife Refuge. Impacts were compared against the IUCN guidelines according degree ecological sensitivity multiple managerial objectives. In addition, analytic network process (ANP) was applied within a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis identify optimal strategies reducing threats weaknesses improving opportunities strengths sustainable management. We found greatest negative that exposed rapidly expanding urbanisation corresponding development economic physical activities. Conversely, least impact occurred national park (Lar) managed based on conservation approaches, accounting high sensitivities, adapting legal prohibitions. SWOT-ANP demonstrates certain can minimise should be adopted as tools by protected area managers land planners.
