Visiting animals and nature can be a great way to learn more about wildlife and the environment. However, it is important to do so responsibly. National Geographic has some guidelines for ethical animal encounters. They suggest observing whether animals have an appropriate environment, including shelter, ample space, a comfortable resting area, and a secluded place away from crowds. They also recommend being cautious of buzzwords such as “gives back to conservation,” “sanctuary,” and “rescue” 1. You can also visit nature reserves managed by organizations such as The Wildlife Trusts, which care for 2,300 diverse and beautiful nature reserves where wildlife is protected and wild plants and animals thrive 2. Is there a specific location you would like to visit?
