(CNN) — Son escenas que pocos asociarían con el pico más alto de Japón: atascos de tráfico humano, laderas llenas de basura y excursionistas vestidos de manera inapropiada, algunos intentando el ascenso en sandalias.Pero estas vistas le resultan demasiado familiares a Miho Sakurai, un veterano guardabosques que ha patrullado las laderas del Monte Fuji durante los últimos siete años.“Definitivamente hay demasiada gente en la montaña en este momento; las cifras son mucho más altas que antes”, se lamenta Sakurai en CNN Travel.Cuando el Monte Fuji fue agregado a la lista de sitios del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO en 2013, el Consejo Internacional de Monumentos y Sitios (ICOMOS), el órgano asesor de la UNESCO, instó a los funcionarios de montaña a controlar las multitudes.Sin embargo, el número de visitantes a la popular quinta estación de senderismo de la montaña se ha más que duplicado, pasando de dos millones en 2012 a más de cinco millones de visitantes en 2019, según el gob...
