National Parks are a very publicly available to guests and often times there is a lot of information online because parks are done through the government. Another mark of environmentalist ideas is studying environmental literature over time from different countries.

It is helpful to focus on the growth of National Parks when studying the spread of the global conservation movement. This is because when natural parks get new policies, it extends to the rest of the country as well, which means that when natural parks grow, the rest of the movement moves as well.

Natural parks are a very physical representation of environmental consciousness. They require a nation to value the environment enough to avoid developing an area for direct economic gain. In the united states, the growth or shrinking of national park lands during a given presidency was indicative of the public's view towards the environment at that time.

National parks show how much protected land there is, and therefore how much the government cares about the environment. You can use the progression in numbers of national parks in the US to see the growth of environmental consciousness over time.

A lot of people from other countries come and visit the national parks and there are probably use research from us parks and apply them elsewhere. It can also inspire other countries to make protected lands

It’s important because it’ll help with money and action towards the national parks from the government. It also helps bring awareness to conservation and preservation of public lands and usuage.

Studying the growth of National Parks is so helpful in studying global conservation because it measures how much governmental attention and actual action is being taken globally across different developments of countries. More ways to measure it would be financial amounts put into conservation, the youth number of activists, participation in global conservation efforts and gatherings

National parks kind of reflect how much the government values public lands and brings awareness to preservation of them. Leave a Reply. |
