The Leave No Trace Seven Principles

　　•	Know your route and avoid extreme weather

2.	Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites
　　•	Do not create your own trails, focus activity in areas where vegetation is absent

3.	Do not litter

　　•	Bring your own bottles, cutlery and handkerchiefs to reduce the consumption of single-use disposable items

4.	Minimize the impacts of fire
　　•	Treasure trees. Do not light fire except at the barbecue sites and campsites
　　•	Do not smoke, reduce wildfire

5.	Leave what you find
　　•	Treasure natural features. No graffiti. No vandalism
　　•	Treasure countryside. Respect villagers’ private properties, crops and livestock

6.	Respect Wildlife
　　•	Never feed animals, lest natural behaviors should be altered
　　•	Do not hurt or approach them, observe wildlife from a distance
