Korean National Park Service Wants People To Hike Slower

I don’t see how hiking slow improves the environment, but that is what the National Park Service is claiming:

The Korea National Park Service will stage a campaign that encourages hikers to slow their pace when hiking mountains rather than just rushing to the peak.

The agency announced the campaign on Thursday, adding it will hold various promotional events as a part of the event that will go until Sunday.

There is an online event on how to improve the hiking culture, while events will be held at all national parks on Saturday to promote good hiking etiquette.

There may be safety benefits from hiking slow to avoid tripping, but if the National Park Service wants to improve hiking culture in Korea how about people picking up all their trash they bring into the mountains?
