FSE 10 STEPS for CAVE and KARST PROTECTION
Protection, Responsibility, Respect
The subterranean realm is fragile, vulnerable, has a slow evolution, hence any degradation, intervention or improper activities lead to irreversible effects. Protecting a cave means to know and to appreciate its values, while being responsible means to be aware that the cave is a natural and cultural chronicle that we must protect and preserve for the next generations.
Respecting cave environment means respecting life. A way of smooth caving could be:
1. Appreciating the natural beauty and the archeological and paleontological values.
2. Not leaving anything behind, but impressions.
3. Using environmental friendly techniques for lightening.
4. Staying on established trails or pathways.
5. Caving together as a trained team with sufficient knowledge.
6. Not damaging the environment and minimizing the risk of cave accidents.
7. Working with gear that affects less the subterranean environment.
8. Using pathways on durable surface, to minimize impacts, while we are in the cave for surveying.
9. Leaving a small impact on the karst and other landforms that shelter the cave. The caves and the karstic regions can sustain the local sustainable development.
10. Becoming educators and promoters of cave and karst protection and conservation.
