Q4 Share photos of nature reserves and wildlife found that you've seen on your travels


RT @aok_NW: A3 #pttravel I’d like to return to Africa, maybe Tanzania or Kenya. I didn’t get to see lions on the first trip. Maybe on a r…

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel They are attractive, aren't they?My grandchildren always used to drag me down to Butterfly World, in Roundhay Park, (Sadly, it's Tropical World now; they charge to get in ... and my grandchildren are grown up! )

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I missed their departure, which was only a few days later. I thought something got them, but I Googled a saw, yep, they're out and about in 10 days or so. #PTTravel

A4 #PTTravel Morialta, near Adelaide was always a favourite. We always go there when we visit ... but, I had to go back to 2002 to find a pic of the falls with any water in it.
(The only place I've seen a koala in the wild!!)


replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish I always worry about how an area will survive. Nature finds a way. I love that trees spread seeds when they feel forest fires coming so that new life can emerge #PTTravel

RT @NomadKeith: A3 #PTTravel Brownsea Island! I haven't seen a red squirrel since the last time I was in Cumbria!

RT @JKatzaman: A3 Yellowstone Park is also a nature preserve, which would check off a few boxes. #PTTravel

RT @aok_NW: @JKatzaman Here’s a robin chick I took in my garage. I wasn’t sure what was nesting there until I took this picture & found th…

RT @aok_NW: @kate_frankie I wouldn’t worry about it here in town, but lots of hiking trails in the hills. Up there you could definitely en…

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW I would want to go hiking. I really need to remember that and research when I next do a US trip. Yellowstone is high on the list but other smaller, local places would be brilliant too #PTTravel

Q5 Which amenities and services are helpful in nature reserves? What would you like to have access to? (Maps, info, transport)


replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @findinganeish #pttravel Walking through a patch of rain foret in Queensland, a ranger asked us to guess how old it was. We were all woefully wrong. 'Thirty years ago, my Dad used to farm here. All this was paddock!'

06:46 PM greetings from a 86°F Yaoundé, Cameroon evening and sorry for joining as late

A5 Any reserves I know of you can drive through. You just need to keep windows rolled up and not feed the animals, especially your arm. #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @kate_frankie #pttravel Saw a documentary the other week about their migration. That's a sight I'd love to see.

A5 #pttravel An operating rest room is good. At Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park in South Africa (pictured), we stopped in a rest room that had no running water. Thankfully, I had a Costco size pack of wipes to hand out to everyone. Kruger had places to stay & eat in the park.


replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @NomadKeith I bet that's a striking sight. I think I've seen one or two. Really beautiful #PTTravel

The Waza National Park is a national park in the Northern part of Cameroon, back when I was 7 yrs old and got amazed seeing the animals I used to see in my books

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @findinganeish Yeah, incredible how it grows and thrives. I have wanted to do an Amazon trip since I was in school. Maybe that needs to go higher on my list #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel Leaflets saying what's to be seen and when ... possibly (but by no means essential) a small souvenir shop/refreshment room. Maybe a downloadable audio guide (We have them at Stonehenge; free, all you do is scan the QR code)

Q6 How can travellers enjoy nature reserves and look after/protect them in future? Share your advice


replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. I’d love to see more National Parks in the States, and closer to home it would be great to explore the Isle of Rum. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @findinganeish #pttravel I wonder how long it would take for a jungle to re-establish once the slash-and-burn farmers have moved on. But, maybe the ground is so impoverished that they can't?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. There are so many, and it’s always amazing to me what wealth of wildlife can be found in even the most modest of reserves. #PTTravel


A3
I thought you once asked this, dear @kate_frankie and I replied I wish to visit to discover and to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features

A6 Travelers can do their part by not making a mess of things, leaving them better than you found them. #PTTravel

A6 #pttravel Be respectful of the reserve. If you bring it in, take it out. Stay on roadways/walkways. Appreciate the wildlife & stay clear of them. If you really want to help, you could see if you could volunteer.
