You might think that no one will notice if you leave a single candy bar wrapper next to a rock, but if every hiker thinks the same way, eventually the idea that “it’s just a ______” will soon have the mountain looking more like the aftermath of a music festival than an inspiring peak. Animals in the alpine environment have a tenuous existence in this very harsh place, and your interactions with them can interfere with their ability to survive. Although it might be fun to try to feed a marmot or pika, the wild animals in the mountains can learn to be dependent on food from hikers and lose the ability to find their own food.
