The main threats to Uluru include:
- Threats to the immediate landscape from too many tourists, who erode the soil and rock, and bring in non-native invasive plant species via seeds and spores on their clothing
- Threats to the sacredness of the rock to the indigenous people when tourists perform silly stunts on the rock

∙ 10y agoThe biggest threat to Uluru is erosion of the sandstone by wind and rain. But it is unlikely that this will appreciably diminish the size of the rock over the next 1000 years. It is approximately 1142 feet high and 5.8 miles in circumference, and is part of a larger sandstone feature extending for more than a mile underground.
