Wildlife Awareness & Safety
📋 What it is
Respecting wild animals — giving space, storing food safely, never feeding them — keeps you and them safe.
🗣️ Coach says
Wild animals are wonderful from a distance. The rules keep everyone safe: give animals plenty of SPACE, never FEED them (it harms them and makes them bold), store food away from your sleeping area (smells attract animals), and make gentle noise so you don’t surprise one. Observe, don’t disturb.
🧠 Memory hook
Wildlife: give SPACE · never FEED · store food away · make gentle noise. Observe, don’t disturb.

Why was the map so good at parties?
Because it always knew how to break the ice-sheet!
😲 Whoa!
A "fed" wild animal often becomes a dead one — once it loses its fear of humans and starts raiding food, it usually has to be removed, which is why feeding wildlife is banned in parks.
✅ Quick check: Why is it harmful to feed wild animals?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
It makes them lose their fear of humans and rely on human food — dangerous for people and often fatal for the animal.
Feeding habituates wildlife, endangering both.
