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，來自公眾、戶外行業工作者和土地管理界的環保倡導者響應了保護我們自然土地的呼吁，LNT（ Leave No Trace）組織誕生了，始于戶外愛好者的一種行為準則，旨在提醒人們在自然中活動時，關注并身體力行地保護與維護當地的生態環境。

曼校將于第三學期引進LNT課程，希望培養學生在自然中活動時，可以利用所學到的戶外技能，盡可能減小對自然環境中的土地、水、植物和動物的影響，保護與維護當地的生態環境。

LNT法則的執行者

“LNT”課程有7大原則 每個原則都涵蓋一個特定的主題。

原則一

出發前做好充分的規劃和準備

充分的旅行計劃和準備有助于保障旅行者的安全，同時有助于減少對土地的破壞。

原則二

在可承受的地區露營

戶外旅行的目標是穿越自然區域，同時避免對土地或水道的破壞。戶外活動者需要留出足夠的時間和精力來選擇一個合適的露營地點。

原則三

處理好垃圾

避免產生大量垃圾并妥善處理垃圾。

原則四

保持環境原有的風貌

離開你所在的區域時，需要將環境還原成原有的風貌，不要挖溝渠或建造斜坡、桌子、椅子或其他改進。

原則五

減少用火對環境的沖擊

營火爐已成為露營的必備設備。爐子幾乎可以在任何天氣條件下運行，而且不會留下任何痕跡。

原則六

尊重野生動植物

不要打擾到野生動物或植物。從遠處觀察野生動物，這樣它們就不會害怕或被迫逃離。

原則七

考慮其他使用者

注意你的個人行為對他人造成的影響。過度的噪音、不受控制的寵物和被破壞的環境都會減少戶外大自然吸引力。

七項原則是公認的，但它們不是一成不變的。LNT組織也在不斷檢查、評估和重新定制新的原則，提供更加全面的信息以最大程度地減少對自然環境的影響。

曼校的LNT課程

內容是怎樣設定的？

“LNT”課程有兩個最重要的核心理念：對環境的“尊重”和“最小沖擊”。基于七大原則以及核心理念，從自然教育理論、自然教育實例、自然教育實操三個方面制定豐富的課程內容，推進曼校自然教育的發展。
