GGNRA Endangered Species Big Year Ethical Principles
To help the GGNRA’s endangered species thrive, all GGNRA Endangered Species Big Year participants must follow these Ethical Principles:
Be a responsible National Park visitor.
- Never take any animal, plant, or any other item from the Park.
- Keep clothes and shoes clean so you don't inadvertently spread invasive plant seeds.
- Learn and respect the rules and values of the National Park.

- Share these ethics by word and by example.
Respect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
- Walk and talk softly.
- Stay on trails and within designated public areas; exercise caution to avoid disturbing or modifying endangered species habitat.

- Leave pets at home.
Respect the rights of others.
- Observe all laws and regulations governing roads and public areas.
