Answer 3

Elliots summary is perfect, I would like to add. I live in Australia and my wilderness is the great barrier reef. It is imperative not to TOUCH. If you are diving on the reef or walking the wonderful bush tracks. Plants in the bush or underwater need to be left alone. If people would stick to designated tracks or dive in designated areas and leave nature alone it might have a chance.

Too many come here and remove from the reef because it is pretty or interesting. It is not allowed but it still happens.

Has mankind become destroyer rather than caretaker?

Answer 4

Yes, Leave No Trace simply means to not leave any traces where you go outdoors.  That means - no trash, no evidence of campfires, no cigarette butts, etc.  Its very easy to do.   Just cary a plastic bag with you in your pocket when you're outdoors.

I smoke cigarettes, build campfires, and cook meals when I'm outdoors, but I challenge anybody to find anything different than what was there before me.
