ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS THROUGH ADVENTURE

摘要

How many adventurers are aware of the delicate ecological balance and beauty of the environment through which they journey? Does the climber know or care about the mountain plants clinging to the steep rock faces? Do canoeists relate to the world of water birds and otters as they travel down rivers? Do the field study groups sampling vegetation and measuring river channels develop any feelings for the natural world? How many of us accept responsibility for the environment and are prepared to take steps towards its conservation?
