Tasmanian natives scolded a traveler in one of Australia's most popular national parks for breaking an important rule. A frustrated woman who shared a photo of the two tourists online on Wednesday blew up a tourist for deliberately deviating from Cradle Mountain. He explained to his Facebook group that the photo was taken in May, saying "Tourists are off the trail in their natural habitat." “I tried to explain politely to the people who scared the penguin colony. They told me 'settle in'. A person considered a tourist by a disillusioned local has been criticized online for going off the track for environmental damage at Cradle Mountain in Tasmania. Source "Earlier that day I saw another couple, both were on the trail and the man gave me consent. I was so shocked that I didn't think to photograph them either. There should be more signage for people and real punishments for disrespecting protected nature, both fauna and flora. " Why is it important to stay on track? While there is no official penalty for getting off track specifically, a spokesperson said Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service "advises walkers to stay on tracks" and "not leave a trail while visiting parks." The same expectations apply to other states in Australia. In this example, Sharon Kelsey of a non-profit hiking organization theorized that the tourist simply "wanted to explore new areas", but stressed the need for "self-regulation and self-discipline." Walking SA Executive Director, "Walking in these areas is a privilege and it's about respecting the environmental and cultural heritage of such areas." "If people take advantage of it and abuse this privilege, it risks shutting down these domains for harmful effect." Ms Kelsey noted that Cradle Mountain has "very sensitive ecosystems in terms of both flora and fauna" with animals such as Tasmanian devils, quolls, platypus, echidna and wombats. And by creating "temporary pathways," things like vegetation can "wear out" and contribute to "depletion of our natural resources." Photo of tourists on Cradle Mountain splits The photo, posted online, received mixed reactions from other hikers. One commented, "Some people... lack respect and accountability." “We need two-foot fences around the boardwalk to stop people trying to pet the wombats and take selfies,” said another. But others criticized the locals for "putting this tourist in danger". One person said, "There's no point in embarrassing people... explaining to touristsbeginners why it's best to stay on the road is definitely a good idea... but posting on a site really feels like embarrassing someone for no reason." .
