Spanish term or phrase: situación llamativa
"situación llamativa puesto que se transgrede la intangibilidad de un Parque Nacional". Aquí no quieren decir 'shocking' sino algo menos comprometido, que no ponga en tela de juicio la legalidad de la cuestión, pero que lo sugiera. ¿Alguna propuesta? Gracias.

Explanation:
