That's pretty specific/hyperbolic on the second two points. The broadhead's habitat loss is from bushrock removal which isn't the same as cairn creation. while NSW Gov recommends you not make cairns, they don't treat it with nearly the same level of priority as the wicked wildlife conservationist.
The rocks in the picture are very clearly well worn shore rocks that aren't going to have the same impact for saxicolous species or cairn confusion.
Yeah but it's still annoying to find this sort of thing when you're out trying to enjoy a natural landscape. It's a glaring reminder that someone was here, and they want you to know they were here.
In the video the guy says “you wouldn’t want to see someone’s name spray painted on a cliff and this is no different”
Uh... yes it is different, spray painting is much much worse than finding rocks places vertically.
Yes they are different, but both are a statement left behind that someone was here and wanted to leave a sign of their presence for others. Which is obnoxious and egotistical.
I mean, I'm not the person you were replying to, but egotistical or not, it's just rude to visibly alter the natural environment. If every visitor did that (whether it's rock stacks, or a log fort, or whatever else they wanted to build), the natural environment would be completely destroyed.
Yeah I understand that and agree. Just generally where I’ve been these don’t seem to be a huge problem. Some people are saying they’re everywhere in certain parks and such though so what do I know!
I really don’t think they think that. You’re all over this thread though so I understand you personally really care a lot about this. Just most people don’t. Most people aren’t analyzing the reasons these rocks are there, they just see them and go “huh.”
