Yellowstone National Park has introduced the Yellowstone Pledge, a promise to protect the park and its wildlife by acting responsibly and safely. The pledge is a response to the increasing number of incidents involving tourists, including bison selfies and boiling water accidents.
The Pledge
The Yellowstone Pledge is a simple promise to respect the park and its inhabitants. It includes guidelines such as giving wildlife room, using a zoom, following the beaten path, being bear aware, watching out for water, practicing safe selfies, enjoying the ride, leaving drones at home, cleaning, draining, and drying, stashing trash, and leaving what you find.
Visitors are encouraged to take the pledge and behave responsibly to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. By taking the pledge, tourists can help protect the park and its wildlife, and preserve the natural beauty of Yellowstone for future generations.
