The organisation Natur & Ëmwelt has now written an open letter to several institutions demanding that something be done about the pollution of nature across Luxembourg. The pictures can be considered alarming, documenting the careless dumping of waste without any consideration. Authorities have even registered traces of plastic gloves in fox urine, proving once more how human behaviour can stain the eco system.
Natur & Ëmwelt therefore request that people be educated on how to move around Luxembourg’s wildlife sanctuaries: “Nature needs to be respected, one cannot simply stomp around and destroy everything and disrupt animal wildlife. Our message to people is clear: enjoy, observe, and respect nature.”
Different rules apply in wildlife sanctuaries, which are therefore always depicted on signs around the respective area. While hiking through the Minett region, Jan Herr noticed the remains of a camp fire, even though there was a sign close by clearly indicating that this was prohibited: “People often view nature as a place for relaxation, but often forget that these picturesque landscapes are the homes of countless plants and animals.”
Natur & Ëmwelt now wants to cooperate with the national forest administration to increase awareness of the issue.
