Yala Safari - Sri Lanka - a photo on Flickriver

            Mother Nature welcomes you with open arms but just as you would do when entering a plush hotel, museum or even a friend’s house for dinner, there are things expected of you when visiting a wildlife park. Sadly, for many people a wildlife park is a free for all, with scant disregard to what Mother Nature and note this, the wildlife ordinance expects expect and insist! If the animals had a choice they probably wouldn’t want humans in their habitat but the wildlife kingdom needs protected parks. A protected, well-governed park offers animals a rare refuge where they can roam free unlike in open forests increasingly preyed upon by people with bad intentions. In an increasing threatened habitat, even in protected parks, endanger animals and forest resources. A balanced eco-system must be maintained for their future; endangered species must be specially monitored and cared for. Water, an increasingly depleting resource need to be managed, too. This is where the Department of Wildlife steps in and it is an enormously difficult and costly endeavor. This is where you come in. People must have the opportunity to see and marvel at the beauty of the nature; witness the glorious wonders of the animal kingdom and when they do come, they provide a lifeline to the wild. Income from ticket sales contribute to the colossal sums needed to protect and maintain a park. And when you do come to the wild, it is your bounden duty to come prepared. Study this page carefully and you will know all about the Visitor Code that you must respect and practice.
