footprints( 三 )


请勿使用明亮的闪光灯或声音来吸引动物 。另外,切勿触摸或喂食野生生物,即使它们乞求也不能投喂 。
Don’t use flash a bright flash or play sounds to attract an animal to you. And never touch or feed wildlife, even if they beg.
人类的食物可能导致它们的健康问题,而过于适应人类和人类食物的捕食者往往会因此遭殃 。
Human food can cause health problems, and predators that become too acclimated to human presence (and food) are often killed.
请勿移动大石块

石堆可能会伤及野生动物 。
Stone stacks can harm wildlife, cause erosion, and disorient hikers.
我们都见过由石堆标志出的远足集合处,或是沙滩上人为堆起的鹅卵石 。
We’ve all seen hiking summits crowned with cairns or a stack of wave-washed pebbles on a beach.
移动一两块大石头看起来也不算什么大事,但随着时间流逝,这种行为会给野生生物带来麻烦,例如破坏美国东南部濒临灭绝的美洲大鲵的栖息地 。
Moving rock or two might not seem like much, but over time it can create problems for wildlife. The trend risksdestroying habitat for endangered hellbender salamandersin the southeastern US.
石堆还会阻碍鱼类通过,破坏无脊椎动物的栖息地,或压碎鸟蛋 。清除石块会暴露出土壤,加速侵蚀 。
Stacks can also disrupt fish passage, destroy stream macroinvertebrate habitat, or squash shore-bird eggs. Stone removal also exposes soil and facilitates erosion.
和负责任的同伴一起旅行
Travel With Responsible Companies
我也喜欢在旅行时摄影,但是负责任的旅游需要我们都为之努力 。“生态旅游”就像“有机”一词一样,只拥有纸面上的概念并不会产生实际的意义 。
If you’re like me, a lot of your photography happens while on vacation. But responsible nature tourism takes work. “Ecotourism” is like “organic” — the term is absolutely meaningless.
需要特别注意那些以野生动物为噱头的旅行团 。一些打着“野外摄影之旅”旗号的旅行团,会用危险且不道德的方式迫使野生生物接近游客,例如用活的或假的老鼠吸引猫头鹰 。
And take particular care with wildlife tours. Some nature photography tours use dangerous and unethical practices to get the wildlife close to you.Owl-baiting is one example, where the birds are tempted with live or toy mice.
问题是,这些动物会逐渐习惯于不劳而获,持续等候在喂食地点,失去捕猎能力,有些还会在试图接近人类时发生被汽车撞到等事故 。
The problem? Those same birds become accustomed to the free meal and often forgo hunting to wait at the baiting site, or are hit by cars as they try to approach people for food.
总之,在预订任何“与野生动物亲密接触”的旅行团之前,请再想想 。可以问问旅行社,看他们是否会将收益的一部分用于支持环境或动物保护 。
So think carefully before booking an “interactive wildlife encounter.” Ask questions to make sure operators use a portion of their proceeds to support conservation or species protection.
如果整条旅行路线看起来都是以拍出精美照片为目标、而不是在自然栖息地真正地观察动物,请三思而行 。
If it looks like the entire process is engineered to get you a great photo, instead of observing wild animals in their natural habitat, think twice.
最后的建议:不要只想着自己的自拍愿望单 。
A final word of advice: think beyond the selfie bucket list.
总之,出去拍照时——别忘了随时关照与爱护大自然 。
So get out there and take a selfie… just be sure to care for nature along the way.
