'In forests, behave like animals': IFS officer’s message on World Tourism Day

On World Tourism Day 2023, IFS officer Parveen Kaswan posted a significant message for his followers on X.

It’s World Tourism Day and Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan commemorated the occasion with a significant message for his followers on X. “In forests, behave like animals,” Kaswan said in his post as he requested tourists to keep their surroundings clean.

Disposing waste food and plastic wrappers on railway tracks, roads and forest areas not only affects the environment but could also lead to accidents involving wild animals, Kaswan explained.

“Don’t throw food or wrappers on railway track or road. It attracts wild animals, and leads to accidents. How would you feel if they too dump their wastes in your home and leave? Today is #WorldTourismDay,” Kaswan said in his post that also accompanied a stunning shot of an elephant photographed in a forest.
