| Code of Conduct |
 |
Take strict precautions to guard against forest fires caused through carelessness. |
|
Avoid any form of pollution within the sanctuary whether of air, soil or water including the flora and fauna. |
|
Keep a reasonable distance from all animals. Stay at a safe distance especially from an elephant. Disturbed animals may be provoked to attack. |
|
Do not go near a nest. An alarmed bird can damage the eggs to be hatched |
|
Do not get out of the vehicle while watching wildlife. |
|
Treat the sanctuary with respect. It is the sanctum sanctorum of nature. If you are in a vehicle, bear in mind that the wild animals have the right of way in the sanctuary. Transistors, tape-recorders and loud conversations are taboo in the sanctuary. |
|
Dress in colors that blend with the forest. Khaki, brown or olive green will be just right. |
|
Make full use of local guides and tribals. They are likely to be illiterate, but, that only means they have had more time for learning about the jungle and the creatures and plants therein. |
|
Although shooting with a rifle is prohibited, "shooting" with a camera is fully encouraged |
|
Make checklists of creatures observed on a trip. Make your own simple notes which you can easily compare from trip. |
|
Make the most of your trip. Learn a little more of the world you are part of. |
|
Use of horns, fast driving, smoking in summer, campfires, harassing of animals and consumption of alcohol is prohibited. |
|
Firearms and pets are strictly forbidden. |
