Best practice in the natural environment
Keep hidden gems secret
Many of these spectacular yet fragile places are still not widely known or maintain a delicate balance between the number of visitors and their conservation. Use GPS or social media networks responsibly.
Problems it can cause
Lesser-known and less-visited places that you have the fortune to discover should be kept that way to ensure the conservation of their natural values. A spectacular landscape or a rare species can be at risk of disappearing when they become too public.
Best practices
To ensure the conservation of spaces that have remained peaceful and well-preserved over the years, consider the following recommendations:
- Try to enjoy the moment the space offers you without disturbing its tranquillity. Think twice before sharing it on social media.
- Be mindful of the routes you post on platforms designed for this purpose. Sharing lesser-known routes can have significant effects on the environment and biodiversity of the area.
- If you need to post photos on social media, be careful not to reveal their location.
