Leave only footprints that will wash away | Children of Palau | TED Talk

In this talk, the Children of Palau share how their nation has taken innovative steps to protect its pristine ecosystems from the unintended consequences of tourism. In this TED Talk, they highlight the Palau Pledge, a commitment included in visitors’ visas, which encourages travelers to explore mindfully, respect cultural heritage, and tread lightly. The Children of Palau invite you to reflect on how small, thoughtful actions can contribute to broader environmental conservation goals.
