@Generalissima and Vanderwaalforces: while the cited source verifies both that Nosy Komba is a well-trafficked ecotourism destination and a well-trafficked logging site for unscrupulous companies, it doesn't explicitly use one claim to undermine the other – I'm concerned that this hook would unfortunately fall afoul of WP:SYNTH as a result. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 10:19, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Theleekycauldron: That's a good point. What if I rephrase it to "that environmental regulations are essentially unenforced on Nosy Komba, a center for ecotourism?" Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Seems better :) maybe a little punchier if it were ALT0b: ... that Nosy Komba is a destination for both ecotourism and illegal logging? Will leave to Vanderwaalforces to decide. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
