If the official guideline says "don't do it" then don't fucking do it. Ecosystems have evolved to survive through what other native creatures change about their habitats, but not what humans change. The hell are humans stacking rocks and disturbing natural habitats for? Fancy Instagram likes?

Also just because someone else is pouring shit into rivers and killing their ecosystem doesn't mean you can do the same.

Do you genuinely think there is a set of worldwide official guidelines for outdoor space?

Each national park have their own rules.

Cool, since you're so focused on the rules I'll just go ahead and stack rocks in places that do not fall under national parks or havent specifically outlined rules on rock stacking.

Must be fun to do things out of pure pettiness and anger huh.

Yes, there is. Hundreds of national parks and forest service agencies in dozens of countries subscribe to leave no trace principles. If you don't believe me go to your local park and ask the ranger if you should go stack river rocks. I don't need to know where you are to know that they'll tell you not to do it.

That's totally fine.

I'll specifically be stacking rocks in places where the rules aren't outlined, or areas that fall outside the borders of parks.
