Wild life Encounter Ethics: Understanding and Respecting Nature

However, the wonderful experience comes with responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. By learning about appropriate travelling ethics, we can ensure that the experience won’t only deliver joy but also keeps its sustainability. Therefore, its beauty is well-conserved for future generations. Here are some principles to be applied while travelling in nature and encountering wild animal.

Every nature recreation place has written rules to protect its environment and assure visitors safety. It is important to obey them, include prohibition for forbidden area trespassing, littering or disturbing wild animals.

While travelling in the wild, we often have chances to meet wild animals in its natural habitat. However, it is really important to keep a safe distance and not disturbing their life. A close distance to them can give them stress, trigger their aggressive behaviour and even harm the tourists.

Although feeding animals who are lying may seem like a kind deed, it may actually be harmful to the animals. 
Giving them food that isn’t natural can mess with their diet and make them reliant on us.

If you see any stranded or sick wild animal, watch closely if it really looks weak, hurt or stranded from its herd or environment. Don’t get too close with it directly. Some wild animals can be aggressive if they feel threatened or in sensitive condition. Call the wild animals rescue centre or the authority.
