The flow chart shows 'trampling', the negative effect of tourists walking in the countryside for the environment. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features.

The diagram illustrates the negative effect of tourists walking in the countryside on the local environment. In the first stage, occurs 'trampling' (flattening of grass under the feet of tourists walking in the area), which causes harm to the
