In a sea of critical comments, briattstahh expressed concern saying, “I adore you, but please stop climbing on the yucca. They can’t bear heavy weight, and your actions are sending the wrong message that it’s okay to climb trees. Our national parks are at risk.” Meanwhile, rachhamby and others highlighted Cyrus’s wide reach, warning, “Please refrain from climbing Joshua trees. It causes significant harm to them. As a public figure, it’s crucial for you to set a good example for your followers to help preserve these trees for future generations.” Adding to the chorus, beefcheef urged, “This is not okay. Joshua trees are already struggling due to their delicate nature, and people climbing on them only adds to the problem. Please remove this content before more harm is done.”

Numerous people urged the 26-year-old celebrity to do the right thing and remove the photos in question. One user, daaaaazzedadded, emphasized the importance of not climbing on Joshua trees, as they cannot bear the weight and it causes them harm. Another user, Peachy_chichi, pointed out that these trees are fragile and dwindling in number, so they should be admired and not climbed on. The account JoshuaTreeHatesYou simply stated, “NEVER CLIMB JOSHUA TREES” along with an eye roll emoji. These sentiments were echoed in many more comments expressing similar concerns.
