Omg, I didn't think of that risk. I have not been to Crimea, but I've seen pictures and I have heard how beautiful it is. That would be terrible.

The citizens there should consider to put some conservation rules in place. And nature protection zones.

Or maybe they should institute a rule that only allows local citizens to OWN property on Crimea. Because otherwise the property prices might rise until regular people who are born there can't afford to buy a house there.

There is a very nice group of islands in the Baltic Sea that has a rule exactly like that, and it has stopped them from being exploited and priced out of their own market. It's autonomous and even though it belongs to Finland, they only speak Swedish there. They also decided no military bases are allowed there and they make money off tourism and gambling.
