- thaumasiotes 6y agoThat's... all vehicles, including feet.

- soperj 6y agoThey'd have to poach all the animals to accomplish that.
- thaumasiotes 6y agoWho would? To accomplish... what?
- amelius 6y agoGeofencing on vehicles could do that, but we're not there yet.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoIf you go full Sierra Club and shut down all but the "purest" forms of recreating in nature then basically nobody will recreate outdoors and there will be no opposition to destroying nature because so few people will have stake in the issue.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoIndeed. The continued existence of wildlife parks in East Africa is largely supported by tourists doing sightseeing tours in vehicles. Close those trails down, you lower the income from tourism, and poaching and illegal land use return. (Just like now some of these wildlife conversation efforts are reportedly suffering from the COVID border closures.)
- amelius 6y agoYou take "close down" too literally. You can still allow tourists, if e.g. you check their cars to see if they didn't do anything illegal.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoPlease refer to the OP, who was talking about closing trails in order to prevent the wear-and-tear on the environment that vehicles exert.
