Abstract
This research explores the complex relationship between commercialization and the preservation of historical sites and natural wonders, focusing on how the growing emphasis on profit often overshadows conservation efforts. This study illustrates how filmmaking can serve as a powerful tool for raising public awareness about the detrimental impact of tourism and human exploitation on cultural and natural heritage. The research examines how cinematic storytelling can engage audiences emotionally, fostering a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving these irreplaceable landmarks. Through combining insights from cultural studies, heritage conservation, and film theory, this paper emphasises the need for a balanced approach to tourism—one that prioritises sustainability and preservation over financial gain. Ultimately, this research advocates for the use of filmmaking as a medium to not only entertain but also educate and inspire actions toward the conservation of our shared cultural and natural treasures.
