Twenty-five years ago, environmental advocates from the public, the outdoor industry and the land management community responded to the call to protect our natural lands and LNT (Leave No Trace) was born, an outdoor movement that reminds people to be aware of and take action to protect and preserve their local ecology when moving in nature.

MIS will introduce LNT in Term 3 with the aim of preparing students to use the outdoor skills they have learnt when moving in nature to minimise their impact on the land, water, plants and animals in the natural environment and to protect and preserve the local ecology.

Be an LNT practitioner

"The LNT programme” has seven principles

each covering a specific topic.

P 1

Plan Ahead & Prepare

Adequate travel planning and preparation helps to ensure the safety of travelers, while helping to reduce damage to the land.

P 2

Travel & Camp

on Durable Surfaces

The goal of outdoor travel is to traverse natural areas while avoiding damage to land or waterways. The outdoorsman needs to allow enough time and effort to choose a suitable camping site.

P 3

Dispose of waste properly

Avoid generating large amounts of rubbish and dispose of it properly.

P 4

Leave what you find

When you leave your area, you need to restore the environment to its original appearance by not digging ditches or building ramps, tables, chairs or other improvements.

P 5

Minimize Campfire impacts

Camping stoves have become essential equipment for camping. The cookers can be operated in almost any weather conditions and leave no trace.

P 6

Respect wildlife

Don"t disturb wildlife or plants. Observe wildlife from a distance so that they are not frightened or forced to flee.

P 7

Be considerate of others

Be aware of the impact your personal actions have on others. Excessive noise, uncontrolled pets and vandalised environments can all reduce the attractiveness of the outdoors to nature.

The seven principles are well established, but they are not set in stone and the LNT organisation is constantly examining, evaluating and re-crafting new principles to provide more comprehensive information to minimise impact on the natural environment.

How is the content of the LNT programme introduced at MIS set up?

"The LNT curriculum is based on two key concepts: respect for the environment and minimal impact. Based on the seven principles and core concepts, the curriculum is developed from three aspects: nature education theory, nature education examples and nature education practice, to promote the development of nature education at MIS.

二十五年前，来自公众、户外行业工作者和土地管理界的环保倡导者响应了保护我们自然土地的呼吁，LNT（ Leave No Trace）组织诞生了，始于户外爱好者的一种行为准则，旨在提醒人们在自然中活动时，关注并身体力行地保护与维护当地的生态环境。

曼校将于第三学期引进LNT课程，希望培养学生在自然中活动时，可以利用所学到的户外技能，尽可能减小对自然环境中的土地、水、植物和动物的影响，保护与维护当地的生态环境。

LNT法则的执行者

“LNT”课程有7大原则 每个原则都涵盖一个特定的主题。

原则一

出发前做好充分的规划和准备

充分的旅行计划和准备有助于保障旅行者的安全，同时有助于减少对土地的破坏。

原则二

在可承受的地区露营

户外旅行的目标是穿越自然区域，同时避免对土地或水道的破坏。户外活动者需要留出足够的时间和精力来选择一个合适的露营地点。

原则三

处理好垃圾

避免产生大量垃圾并妥善处理垃圾。

原则四

保持环境原有的风貌

离开你所在的区域时，需要将环境还原成原有的风貌，不要挖沟渠或建造斜坡、桌子、椅子或其他改进。

原则五

减少用火对环境的冲击

营火炉已成为露营的必备设备。炉子几乎可以在任何天气条件下运行，而且不会留下任何痕迹。

原则六

尊重野生动植物

不要打扰到野生动物或植物。从远处观察野生动物，这样它们就不会害怕或被迫逃离。

原则七

考虑其他使用者

注意你的个人行为对他人造成的影响。过度的噪音、不受控制的宠物和被破坏的环境都会减少户外大自然吸引力。

七项原则是公认的，但它们不是一成不变的。LNT组织也在不断检查、评估和重新定制新的原则，提供更加全面的信息以最大程度地减少对自然环境的影响。

曼校的LNT课程

内容是怎样设定的？

“LNT”课程有两个最重要的核心理念：对环境的“尊重”和“最小冲击”。基于七大原则以及核心理念，从自然教育理论、自然教育实例、自然教育实操三个方面制定丰富的课程内容，推进曼校自然教育的发展。
