Key Sustainability Practices
Key Sustainability Practices
The MyAdventure Group plans to Tread lightly and Leave no trace by applying the following key sustainability practices to all business activities, outdoor and adventure activities. These key sustainability practices are divided into 4 categories Shielding, Hardening, Regeneration and Exclusion.
- Shielding
The use of temporary materials, equipment or structures to protect natural features and elements from impacts. Shielding is only used during the activity with little or no signs of impact upon completion of the activity
Shielding - practices
Shielding - practices
Electrical power is supplied via a heavy duty, purpose built cable connected to the mains supply; petrol power generators are not used at Pindari (except in emergency situations)
Edge protection on all cliff edges where ropes and other equipment is used
Suitable padding and rigging techniques are used to prevent ringbarking living trees that are used for abseiling, climbing or Canyoning anchors
Where fixed eye bolts are used for roping anchors a MAG karabiner is used to reduce wear and tear on the fixed eye bolt
- Hardening
The use of temporary or permanent materials, equipment or structures to reduce or eliminate impacts. Hardening recognises areas of exiting or likely impact and provides protection to prevent the spread or worsening of the existing impacts.
