He acknowledged that while wildlife tourism contributes significantly to local economies, responsible practices are essential to ensure the welfare of wildlife and the sustainability of tourism itself.

Such encounters highlight the need for tourists and operators to exercise caution, maintain respectful distances, and follow established guidelines to mitigate risks to both wildlife and human safety.
