Respecting wildlife involves observing animals from a distance, not feeding them, and keeping noise levels down to avoid disturbing their natural behavior and habitat.

The Leave No Trace principle is about preserving the natural environment by minimizing the impact of human activities. It is applied by packing out trash, camping on durable surfaces, and respecting wildlife.

Effective planning and preparation reduces the risk of emergencies, minimizes impact on the environment, and ensures a safe and enjoyable experience. This includes checking weather forecasts, bringing appropriate gear, and knowing local regulations.

Sticking to trails and established campsites helps minimize erosion and other damage to the land. Avoiding pristine or regenerating areas prevents unnecessary impact.

This principle is about ensuring a positive experience for all by yielding to others on the trail, keeping noises down, and preserving the solitude of the outdoor areas.

Proper disposal of waste, including human waste and wash water, is crucial to protecting wildlife and water sources. Following Leave No Trace guidelines, pack out what you pack in, and use bathroom facilities or dig catholes where appropriate.
