In the modern, overpopulated world, the need for dedicated space for wildlife is increasingly important. National Parks provide just that. They are large areas of public land set aside for native plants, animals and the places in which they live. The National Park Service aims to conserve wildlife and nature in order to protect it for the future, as well as allow people the chance to enjoy it. They must absolutely continue with their efforts to preserve wildlife and nature.
National Parks protect wildlife, habitats, and nature from destruction and human impact (What). They give animals a safe space to breed and survive (Chief). Over 247 species of threatened/endangered plants and animals are protected in National Parks. They protect many amazing animals and landscapes, such as the world largest living things, Giant Sequoia trees, the longest cave system known to the world, Mammoth Cave National Park, and Crater Lake, America’s deepest lake (What). Conservation of biodiversity is the central purpose of protected areas. Having plenty of biodiversity keeps ecosystems healthy and secure, which means they can continue providing vital ecosystem services, such as nutrient cycling, climate regulation, air and water purification, and pollination (Why). Protecting biodiversity is important to our economy, our values, and the natural value of species and ecosystems. National Parks have thousands of plants, which benefits our environment, providing us with fresh air, clean water, and
Manchester State Park, Kitsap Peninsula, Washington: West Beach Outcrop Geology
Jason Ott
The west beach at Manchester State Park consists of roughly 200m of exposed outcrops with well bedded strata of consisting of the Blakeley formation, of Oligocene age, and poorly consolidated beds of Quaternary age. The northern boundary of the area of interest begins at the southern edge of Middle Point and area terminates at Clam Bay to the south.
The Blakeley formation consists of alternating sequence of coarse sandstones, mudstones, and sub-rounded/brecciated conglomerates.
Muir liked that Yellowstone National Park was created to protect the wildlife, and he wanted to help create more. In 1890, he helped create Yosemite National Park. He then helped established Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon National Park. John’s book Our National Parks, a book showing what the national parks are like, and his ideas inspired Theodore Roosevelt to make conservation programs. One of his programs set aside two hundred-thirty million acres of land to mostly be preserved.
Slide 1
Good afternoon, My name is Aaron Escudero and I would like to inform President Trump and Ryan Zinke about Big Bend National Park.
Slide 2
Big Bend National Park is located within an isolated corner of Texas at the south western border with Mexico with the nearest airport being Midland/Odessa, Texas 235 miles away. It includes the entire Chisos mountain range and a large swath of the Chihuahuan Desert.
In the testimony before the House Committee on the Public Lands on June 1913, Pinchot (an advocate for conservationists) stated that “the use of the park will be enormously increased” (Pinchot and Raker 2). This means the the ability to have multiple use of the land can allow the government to create more than just an attraction site, but also create activities and different things people can do there for a price. Also in the testimony before the House Committee on the Public Lands on June 1913, Pinchot also stated that “the national park will be visited by a very large number of people who cannot visit them now” (Pinchot and Raker). This gives government the opportunity to make money, because people would pay money in order to see the beauty of the land now that it is cleared up.
I hope the federal government makes the right decision on making this a National Park. Come on, it would be amazingly exciting, and it would bring more money to our country if you thought about it. I thought the government was all about the people? If so, think about the people this time and make this
“There is nothing so American as our national parks. The fundamental idea behind the parks is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of lives of all of us.” (President Franklin D. Roosevelt). To live the American dream people, love to travel to new and old places for fun. Even though it is economically advantageous.
Values of the Florida Everglades
The Florida Everglades is a national park where animals live in harmony because of this thing called biodiversity. Biodiversity is a word commonly used to "describe the relative number of different species
in an ecosystem. " The everglades depend on its ecosystems, that’s how everything stays running and alive. Without the everglades, there wouldn't be as many species, the everglades houses these species and without it, many of them would be extinct or endangered. The everglades play a huge role in the survival of many different plant and animal species.
Nature, with its awe-inspiring landscapes and abundant biodiversity, is a testament to the Earth’s enduring beauty. Within the borders of the United States lie remarkable treasures: the National Parks. These protected areas not only safeguard natural wonders but also provide crucial habitats for countless species. In this essay, we will delve into the significance of national parks, employing persuasive rhetoric to highlight their importance. By appealing to ethos, pathos, and logos, we hope to inspire a deep appreciation for these remarkable landscapes and emphasize the imperative of preserving them for future generations.
Attention Getter] Did you know that according to the National Park Service, in the mid 1970s the Greater Yellowstone region only inhabited about 136 grizzly bears (United States)?
A. The Federal Government quickly protected them under the Endangered Species Act, and that is still in force today.
This exposure and education motivate people to protect the animals and provide entertainment.
Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers, habitat loss, starvation, and predators. “The Arabian Oryx was hunted to extinction in the wild. However, from just a handful of animals in captivity the species was brought back from the brink thanks the conservation efforts of Phoenix Zoo and others.
Zoos are places where animals are put on displays and where they have to live their entire life. People can visit zoos for money and watch animals like they are in some kind of television show or commercial program what is done for people only. People have to notice that zoos are not people entertainment. It is seems like animals in zoos should be free and live in wildlife where they belong.
In 1874, the first zoo opened; however, since then there has been a lot of controversy around zoos. With over 10,000 zoos worldwide, the biggest issue people are seeing is that zoos are capturing innocent animals and putting them in small areas. In reverse, others believe that zoos are great for educational purposes. Zoos are extremely miserable for animals and they should be banned.
Zoos are highly unsafe for animals.
From walking your dog, to playing with your kids, the park is the perfect place for endless outdoor activities and events. The park is a door to escape the harshness of the world and return to reality with a new mind set on the world. Most public parks offer amazing sceneries of nature from plants and trees to wildlife. The presence of nature warms my heart bringing relaxation and peace upon my body and
A lot of people think that zoos are good because they help repopulate, but no one thought that the only reason why we need to repopulate some species, was because of poaching and hunting. If people never had poaching and hunting, most animals are capable out there in the wild. On the other hand, Zoos have research programs that help expand our knowledge about animals, especially the endangered species. The information gained by these programs can help protect and treat the species in the wild, as well as determine what effects if any climate change may have on the regions needed for the species to flourish. Many zoos also have breeding programs for all kinds of species, endangered or not, and learn even more about the species during the breeding, and rearing process.
