Guiding Inquiry: How was the idea of environmentalism formed and how has it diffused over space and time? (3.3.a, 3.4.b)

Guiding Thought Question: When studying the spread of the global conservation movement why is it helpful to focus on the growth of National Parks? What is another way that you could use to mark the spread of environmentalist ideals?
​

Generally speaking, national parks are an action taken specifically to protect national lands from harm. Their establishment is one of the strongest statements about environmental policy a government can take. So if we see a lot of parks being established, it equates to a lot of land being protected under an environmentalist government.

National parks represent the will of the people to conserve the earth so it's a good marker of where the U.S as a whole stands on conservation.

It's important to focus on parks because they are specific places that are left alone without human contact that can help with research.

national parks are a part of conservation and if the national parks are doing good and growing then it is a good sign of conservation

Focusing on the growth of national parks generally meaning more and more land is being protected and help saving the land. The creation of more national parks & preserved areas helps spread the environmental ideals.

The nation has parks to protect natural lands from any type of danger they could be put in. It can also help with any species that could be endangered.

national parks are a main source of conservation and it is easily measurable. You could use voting habits to mark the spread of environmentalist ideas.

because if those specifically protected environments are thriving, its a good teller marker (forgot word). you can also look at how environmental laws have grown and been shaped in todays world.

It's helpful to focus on national parks because national parks can expand and this means more area of the conservation can be protected since more areas are within the national park. Another way to spread ideals would be through expanding and helping community to get ideals out there through parks and votes.

Because it is a government protected area, the growth of that area shows a local/ national interest in conservation. Looking at metrics that show the amount of cutbacks on fossil fuels over the last ten years.

It's important to focus on the growth of National Parks because they serve as stewards of conservation and example of what proper technique and policy can do for us in the future. We could also use changes such as better regulations of waste as a waystone to mark the spread of environmentalist ideas.

it is helpful to focus on the growth of national parks because if we didn't have national parks then there would be no places that would be untouched for the wildlife

most of conservation happens in National parks, and to conserve the national parks they have to be healthy, so thats why its good that its protected land which will help the wildlife and the things conservationists conserve. and with the lands being protected that means there will be less harmful things going on.

national parks are important because they're land that is set aside to keep maintained and protected that many people go to visit to view a very cool party of your country. Another way to spread the ideals could be from laws land/water qualities and....... your mom

It is important because the growth of national parks can protect more land and animals

Well if people advertise a national park and if people go there and see something they like then they might want to do something to help it
