Camping in the wild
We live in an age when the world’s wild areas are becoming increasingly accessible. Being able to visit fantastic natural sights before retreating to the warmth and comfort of a centrally heated hotel is almost commonplace: national parks such as Torres del Paine in Chile offer luxury accommodation. But wrapping yourself up in air-conditioned sumptuousness and bathing sore feet in a soothing spa serves only to insulate you from the very environment that you’ve come to experience. Even staying on an organized campsite is still a step away from experiencing nature in the raw. And that is where wilderness camping comes in.
The first thing to appreciate is the level of responsibility that comes with the privilege of wild camping. Every tent peg stabbed in the ground, every groundsheet laid out and every stove fired up has the potential to scar the landscape. Take for example the seemingly innocuous act of picking up large rocks to place on tent anchors around your tent. Ignoring for a moment the habitat destruction caused by moving boulders, picture the dismay on the faces of the next posse of backpackers to come across the same beautiful spot, only to discover the tell-tale circle of stones. Secondhand wilderness camping is never as memorable as the illusion of being the first to camp in a special place. So if you remember that every action has a consequence, and if you are able to think through every stage of wild camping, you’ll have a better time of it, the surrounding terrain will suffer less damage, and future campers will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

The big storm

The storm went on all night long and into the middle of the morning, an extraordinary affair. I have never known the like for violence or duration. I was sitting up in bed, the light flickering around me and the sky stamping up and down in fury, breaking its bones. At last, I thought, at last the elements have achieved a pitch of magnificence to match my inner turmoil! In this mood of euphoria I considered my position in a new light.

I have always had the conviction, resistant to all rational considerations, that at some unspecified future moment, the continuous rehearsal which has been my life until now, with its many misreadings, its twists and turns, will be done with and that the real drama for which I have been preparing with such earnestness will at last begin. It is a common delusion, I know; everyone entertains it. Yet last night, in the midst of the spectacular display, I wondered if the moment of my entrance might be imminent, the moment of my going on, so to say. I do not know how it would be, this dramatic leap into the thick of the action, or what exactly might be expected to take place, on stage. But what I am looking forward to is a moment of expression. 1 shall be totally fulfilled. I shall be delivered, like a noble closing speech.

PROTECTING THE GREAT BARRIER REEF

The Great Barrier Reef stretches along the Queensland coastline in Australia. Historically, it has been regarded as a well-protected, pristine wonderland - a haven of delicate corals and abundant fish. Yet as scientists came to understand more about the reef’s complexities, a different picture emerged. Over-fishing, land-based pollution and coral bleaching, exacerbated by increased sea temperatures due to global warming, were all impacting on its natural wealth.

Immediate action was required because, contrary to popular belief, only 4.6% of the reef was fully protected. As a result of public campaigning, the Australian government committed to a plan to protect 33% of the reef, with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park zoning plan being implemented in 2004. This is the world’s largest network of marine sanctuaries, covering over 11 million hectares.

Yet the reef is still under threat. The amount of sediment flowing from the land into the marine park from its catchments area has quadrupled over the past 150 years, due largely to grazing and cropping expansion and loss of native vegetation and wetlands.
The reef has experienced two mass coral bleaching events in 1998 and 2002, when the corals lost color due to an increase in water temperature. And finally, not only is the reef subject to high levels of fishing pressure, but other fishing practices, such as sea-floor trawling of prawns, are still permitted in over half of the marine park, resulting in untargeted fish capture and destruction of the sea floor.

到野外露营我们生活在一个时代，当世界各地的野生地区正变得越来越方便。能够访问美妙的自然景色，然后撤退到的温暖和舒适的中央供暖的酒店是几乎司空见惯： 例如在智利雷德裴恩国家公园提供豪华的住宿。但自己包扎在带空调的奢侈和沐浴疼痛的双脚在一个舒缓的水疗服务只让你高枕无忧，你是来体验的环境。即使住在有组织的营地上仍然是在原始的自然体验一步。而这正是野外露营进来的地方。The first thing to appreciate is the level of responsibility that comes with the privilege of wild camping.

在野外露营
我们生活的年代里，世界上的野生地区正变得越来越容易。能够在撤退前对集中供暖的酒店的温馨和舒适是司空见惯的奇妙的自然景观：参观国家公园如托雷斯del Paine智利提供豪华住宿。但将自己在有空调的豪华洗浴痛脚在舒缓的SPA只能使你的环境，你来体验。即使是在有组织的露营地仍然远离经历原始自然的一步。这是在野外露营的时候。
欣赏的第一件事是责任感的水平，是在野外露营的特权。每个帐篷钉刺在地面，每帐底布置和每炉烧起来有疤痕的景观潜力。举个例子，拿起大石头放在帐篷的锚在你的帐篷看似无害的行为。不一会儿移动巨石造成的栖息地破坏，画面上的背包下一脸碰到同样的美丽的地方，失望，才发现跟石头的故事圈。二手野外露营是从来没有被在一个特殊的地方营第一的幻难忘。所以，如果你还记得，每一个动作的后果，如果你能想通过野外露营的每一个阶段，你就会有一个更好的时间了，周围的地形会少受伤害，和未来的人会感谢你的体贴。

大风暴

风暴了整夜，在上午，一个非凡的事情。我从来不知道暴力或持续时间等。我在床上坐了起来，灯光摇曳着我和天空冲压上下骚动，打破了它的骨头。最后，我认为，最后的元素取得了球场的辉煌与我内心的混乱！在这种情绪中我认为我在一个新的光的位置。

我一直确信，抵抗所有的理性思考，认为在将来某个时刻，连续的排练，这一直是我的生活到现在，有许多误读，迂回曲折，将完成和那些真正的戏剧我已经准备这么认真将终于开始。我知道这是一个普遍的错觉，大家抱它。不过昨晚，在精彩的表演中，我想如果我高考的时刻即将到来，我走的那一刻，所以说。我不知道会是怎样的，这个戏剧性的跳跃到厚厚的行动，或是什么可能会发生，在舞台上。但我期待的是一瞬间的表达。1应完全满足。我必交，像一个高贵的闭幕演讲。

保护大堡礁

大堡礁绵延在澳大利亚沿昆士兰的海岸线。在历史上，它一直被认为是一种很好的保护，原始仙境-一个精致的珊瑚和丰富的鱼类，还。然而科学家来了解更多关于珊瑚礁的复杂性，不同的画面出现了。陆源污染和过度捕捞，珊瑚漂白，通过海洋温度升高由于全球变暖加剧，都对其自然财富。

需要立即采取行动，与流行的看法相反，只有4.6%的珊瑚礁被充分的保护。由于公共活动，澳大利亚政府致力于保护珊瑚礁的计划33%，与大堡礁海洋公园分区规划正在实施中的2004。这是世界上最大的海洋保护区网络，覆盖了超过11000000公顷。

然而礁仍受到威胁。大量泥沙从陆地向海洋公园从集水区已经翻了两番过去150年，这主要是由于放牧和种植的扩大和原生植被和湿地的损失。
礁经历了两场大规模珊瑚白化事件1998和2002，当珊瑚失去了由于增加水的温度的颜色。最后，不仅是珊瑚礁受到高水平的捕捞压力，但其他的捕鱼方法，如海底拖网捕鱼虾，还可以在海洋公园的一半，导致非目标鱼的捕获和海底的破坏。
