For their intrinsic beauty, scientific interest and often "sporting" attraction; to preserve their indigenous wildlife; and because if they are active they are water-courses every bit as important ecologically or as water-sources at their resurgences.
San people used caves in the mountains for rock art to communicate information about their culture, beliefs, and rituals. The art served as a way to pass down stories and traditions from one generation to another, and also as a form of spiritual expression. Additionally, the caves provided a protected environment for the art to last for many years.
The main types of caves are solution caves, lava caves, sea caves, glacier caves, and talus caves. Solution caves form from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone; lava caves are created by flowing lava; sea caves are carved by the action of waves on coastal cliffs; glacier caves form within glaciers due to melting and refreezing processes; and talus caves are formed by fallen rocks creating cave-like structures.
The Chislehurst Caves, in Kent, England, are not dangerous to enter. The site is a tourist attraction and guided tours of the caves are offered. The caves were even used as bomb shelters during World War 2.

Yes, you can mine crystals in caves, as many caves contain crystalline formations such as quartz, calcite, and other minerals. However, mining in caves typically requires careful planning, proper equipment, and adherence to local regulations, as some caves may be protected environments. Additionally, safety considerations are paramount due to potential hazards like unstable rock and limited visibility. Always check for permission and guidelines before mining in any location.

White tigers typically give birth in secluded areas such as dense vegetation or hollowed-out tree trunks in the wild when caves are not available. They will seek places where their cubs can be hidden and protected from predators.
Leather back turtles should be protected because they are rare and we need to keep them safe
