ENVIRONMENT OF
MT. RINJANI VOLCANO 3726
These
guidelines help minimize the impact of your visit on the
natural environment
and also on other visitors. Help to keep the park unspoiled
for future visitors.
Remove
rubbish :
Litters is unattractive, harmful to wildlife, and can
increase. Plan your trip to minimize rubbish by not taking
bottles and cans. Rinjani has a “pack it in –pack it out”
policy, so be sure to carry out of the pack whatever you
carry in.
Keep to the track :
By keeping to the trail, you avoid trampling undergrowth and
risking getting lost in the forest.
Camp with care :
When camping, camping, leave no trace of your visit.
Keep streams an lake clean :
Wash well away from the water source by talking water in a
container. Soap and detergent are harmful to the creatures
that live in the streams alike, drain used water into the
ground.
Bury toilet waste :
In areas without toilet facilities, bury your toilet waste
in a shallow hole well away from waterways, tracts,
campsites and shelter. Take care with fires. Portable fuel
stoves are less harmful to the environment and are more
efficient than fires. If you must use a fire, keep it small
and make sure that the fire is out before leaving by dousing
it with water and checking the ashes.
Respect cultural and natural heritage :
Help protect the spiritual and historical significance of
Mt. Rinjani by respecting our local culture. Conserve
wildlife and plants of the National Park by not removing
anything.
Consider other visitors :
Walk quietly trough the forest so that you do not disturb
the wildlife that you and others have come to see.
Enjoy your visit :
Enjoy your visit and before leaving the area take one last
look - will the next visitor know that you have been here?
