Proposed by: Ian Player
Seconded by: Laurie Marker, Ulf Doerner

WHEREAS,

German legislation does not permit any sort of camping within the boundaries of a National Park;

The Bavarian National Park offers the potential for wilderness primitive (leave-no-trace) trails;

THEREFORE, the 7^th World Wilderness Congress hereby

Congratulates the German Parks Authorities on their excellent commitment to managing their national parks; and hereby

RESOLVES, that

German officials understand the value of the primitive wilderness trail experience, and allow such "leave-no-trace" trails within the Bavarian National Park, and further, to study and eventually re-introduce wilderness-dependent wildlife such as lynx, wolves and bear.
