Quick movements and loud noises are stressful to animals. Considerate travelers practice these safety methods:
- Learn about wildlife through quiet observation. Do not disturb wildlife or plants just for a “better look.” Observe wildlife from a distance so they are not scared or forced to flee.
- Considerate travelers observe wildlife from afar, give animals a wide berth.
- Avoid use of flash while taking snaps.
- Store food securely and keep garbage and food scraps away from animals so they will not acquire bad habits .Never feed wildlife. Help keep wildlife wild.
- Make sure the colors of clothing and gear blend with the environment.
