| || Fair tourism > Protection of natural environments and species |
Over the last 50 years, humans have changed ecosystems more quickly and more comprehensively than in any other comparable time span before.
- When travelling, stick to the motto "It is easier to protect what I know". Read up about the natural treasures in the region you visit and raise the awareness of your fellow travellers about landscapes worth protecting and habitats of endangered plants and animals.
- Behave respectfully in the outdoors: Stay on marked trails, refrain from illegal camping and don’t light a fire. Take particularly care when smoking.
- Don’t leave any garbage behind and refrain from explorations with motorised means of transport – nature is best experienced on foot or by bicycle!
- Many adventure sports damage the environment. Climbing, mountainbiking, rafting and other sports should only be practised in areas designated for this purpose.
