3. Respect for the environment
Ethical hunters show respect for the environment by:
- disposing of all litter and garbage and empty shell cases properly
- driving on formed tracks and trails and not where their vehicle will cause environmental damage
- working to preserve the environment and supporting biodiversity conservation principles
- taking the necessary precautions and safety measures when lighting campfires
- understanding the basic principles of bushcraft and survival and applying them in the field.
