• Enhance the quality of wildlife encounters, while minimizing our impact. • Protecting Wildlife: • Animals overtly respond to intrusive human behavior with defensive-aggressive posturing, vocalization, even flight. We use the following methods to avoid disturbing wildlife: 1. All animals have escape distances, and when people intrude on this zone, animals move away. These distances vary among species, individuals and environmental circumstances. • Naturalists look for behavioral cues which might suggest disturbance and alert travelers accordingly 2. Animals observe us as we watch them. Some of our behaviors may be interpreted by animals as threatening. We move slowly and quietly when near wildlife, and remain at the periphery of animal groups, allowing wildlife to maintain their social organization. 3. We provide travelers with "buyer bewares" guidance on illegal wildlife products. • Preserving Habitat: 1. Waste disposal: A "pack it back" ethic ensures that all trash created during nature walks, camping adventures and boat excursions is placed in appropriate disposal sites. 2. Soil erosion: To preserve natural habitats our naturalists ensure that vehicles stay on the road except where otherwise permissible, in order to prevent damaging ecosystems and degrading wildlife habitats. We refrain from collecting plants, coral and other souvenirs. 3. Coral reefs: Guidelines are provided for snorkeling to prevent breaking coral or stirring bottom sediment which could contribute to the destruction of delicate coral. 4. Sand dunes: Some plants adapted to this habitat have a fragile hold on relatively unstable dunes. Naturalists guide travelers along the base of vulnerable dunes. 16
