Field sports are considered nostalgic pastimes, especially among countryfolks . In the United Kingdom, for example, participants of field sports such as riding and fox hunting frequently wear traditional attires (British country clothing) to imitate landed gentries and aristocrats of the 19th century English countryside. Field sports, by definition, involve activities away from typical human settlements, which implies entering into natural areas usually devoid of human presence. Such encroachments can potentially cause ecological disturbances to the wild faunae and florae, including environmental contamination by littered wastes (especially non-degradable plastic wastes ), wildfire risk from campfires and cigarette butts, disruption of groundcovers and topsoil due to trail-making and camping, damages to rocks by anchors used for aid climbing, irresponsible luring and feeding of wild animals, and light and sound pollution that can frequently trigger startle responses and territorial behaviors, leading to animal attacks, nest abandonment, habitat fragmentation and even habitat loss.
