Watching Wildlife Around the World 6

Laurie Lubeck



These are the Golden Rules of watching wildlife:

Respect wildlife
Respect wildlife habitat
Respect other wildlife viewers and property
Respect the "wildness" of wildlife

Whether you are riding in a huge tundra vehicle on arctic ice, on elephant back in the jungle, on a walking safari through grasslands, trekking through mountains, or propelling your fins underwater near a coral reef, these principles should be your guide.



On earth for more than 63,000,000 years, 90% of the rhinos in Africa were massacred in 10 years, killed for their horn.


If you can remember these golden rules, you will be a responsible wildlife watcher and you will have a richer experience. Also, you will be a good influence on other people who need some guidance on how to act around wild animals. The best thing that you can do is support wildlife conservation organizations by donating money or your time. And, of course, continue to educate yourself about wildlife and habitat!

I hope that you have a lifetime of exciting wildlife watching experiences in Japan and around the world. Let's keep nature WILD!!
