Pros And Cons Of Privatization Of National Parks

This large amount of people has prompted legislative action to clearly define the park’s borders in 1929, and has also inspired park management programs to protect the

Why should park rangers put themselves at risk to save those who choose to climb the mountain aware of the risk? The rangers could die up there trying to save another person’s life, which is very heroic but why should he save him. There could be another incident in the park where someone was not doing anything risky but nature struck. Mountain climbers shouldn’t be able to demand rescue services on the mountain.

The article “Canada’s national parks in ‘crisis” written by Jennifer Friesen, follows the recent report released on Thursday by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society; the report held information about the construction and recreational development plans for Canada’s national parks. In the reports that were released, lists of private investors in Banff and Jasper were listed, who were in negotiations to create new commercial developments for tourism, that threaten the very sustainability of the parks in Canada. The primary expansions that the article discussed were those planned for the Lake Louise Ski Resort, and the new plans to increase infrastructure and capacity by

The lack of off-leash styled dog parks across the United States of America have brought much debate and unrest within communities. Cities and neighborhoods that do not provide these types of dog parks make it difficult for pet owners to provide exercise, social activities, and a place where dog and dog owners grow and learn together. Park and recreation advocates question the public advocacy on the assets and location in construction for the dog park. Other locals are against the idea of off-leash style dog parks due to their concerns about safety and other potentially problematic issues. Ed Fowley a reporter and dog owner from Los Angeles states, "…They don't know how strong the pack instincts are in their family pets. These drives can and often do click into high gear when a dog is taken into a park with strange dogs." (Fowley). Dog parks can vary from different shapes and sizes however, the certain type of dog parks pertaining to this problem are those in which dog owners are legally able to allow their dogs to roam unbound by leashes or constrictions regulated by city and state. The park and recreation advocates of communities who have few or little to none, off-leash dog parks are struggled to balance the fine line that crosses the accounts and finances of production all the while, fight fear that it may create more issues.

I agree with the federal government's decision in not making Providence Canyon a national park. The reason I agree with not making Providence Canyon a national park is because people do not know how to pick up their trash when it misses the trash cans and that is an environmental problem, also the money to pay for it comes from our pockets. Also people are unaware of this and the disasters that they could cause when they drop their trash where ever they want or when they let their pets use the bathroom where ever they let them. The federal government did the right thing by not making the Providence Canyon a national park in my opinion.

There are many ways to look at this subject. One is by the industry and how this subject could affects the local businesses. I personally would feel an affect of the banning of snowmobiles in the park. I work for a company that manufactures snowmobiles and the grooming equipment that keeps the trails open. There is a great amount of revenue that comes from the thriving industry. There are some 85,000 visitors each winter that generates over 30 million dollars throughout the three surrounding states. The other way to look at this subject is the pollution that these snowmobiles create. "Tests have been done to prove that just one snowmobile creates the same amount of pollution that of 100 automobiles" (The New York Times, 2002). They generate up to 68% of all the carbon monoxide and up to 90% of all the hydrocarbons emitted in the park. This has been proven to be a huge factor when it comes to nature along with the plants and animals in the area.

This may seem controversial as some people may not be able to understand how public parks benefit anyone. Public parks may seem purely aesthetic and ornamental, adding no true value to society, therefore some would argue that the government has no justification for taking their property.

National parks should not be preserved and protected by the federal government because the government currently owns too much land

No, most believe it should be in another area, and one of the most popular is the Piedmont. Sure, the Piedmont may be a huge urban commercial and industrial site, but this also leads to its high population, and horrifying traffic conditions. Roads are constantly paved, new buildings are constantly sprouting up, and not many people realize that space is limited. A new amusement park here would most likely kill off the very few forests left remaining, and wildlife would deplete even faster than it already is. Another reason the Blue Ridge still stands on top is because there are already so many amusement parks and attractions already, which can be for the best, or for the worse. The new park could potentially be seen as “just another park” in the Piedmont region, potentially causing the park to relocate. On the flip side, it could be a very popular park, with all its components. This would cause business to be driven out of the other parks and make the revenue lower, or insignificantly

My 1st contention is national parks can actually negatively affect the environment, they draw thousands or even hundreds of thousands of visitors who all impact the environment, whether through pollution from cars or the impact of camping. The roads that are built for cars in the parks have a severe impact on the environment and the animals that are l m, iving there. according to ournationalparks.us “High levels of park attendance affiliated with vehicular traffic have caused the Yosemite National Park administration to wonder how it can still allow visitors to enjoy the exuberance of the park, but, at the same time, preserve the habitat of the more popular

Yosemite national park faces many issues being a national reserve, and one of them is the

Beginning in the 1920s, state parks were becoming more systematized. There were many places that were great to build a national park, but there were some places that were not as desirable for a national park, so these places were turned into state parks. However, the main point of creating a state park was to create more places for people to visit, especially for people who were unable to travel as far as the west to

Competing amusement parks has upgraded their attractions to attract more consumers and Disney is has recently strategizing this approach to a more concentrated perspective. This can ultimately lower their revenues until the plan is complete.

The Issue of National Park conservation has become a widely controversial issue today. With the National debt reaching 17 trillion dollars some politicians think it is alright to either sell off national park land to commercial foresters, miners, and even foreign nations or to just close some parks entirely to make up some of the national debt. They are completely unaware that the parks arent just a “pretty area of land for tourists”. Many cities depend on the parks for their well-being. A quote from a local newspaper in California supports this “National parks don’t boast concession stands or charge tax, but data indicates they bring in millions of dollars to local economies each year”(Tree). Supporters of cutting the parks include big CEO’s of major companies and some of them not even in this country.

The website for the national and state park systems helps to enlighten the public on the subject of impending changes in policy and regulations, as well as new developments in different parks. Due to this, the parks and recreation districts judge that individuals and families will be more agreeable to the idea of traveling to parks in different states because of the easy accessibility of directions and information about the parks. Owing to the latest rise in interest of campgrounds and recreation areas, there has been an increase in funds. This new revenue has made possible the purchase of more parkland throughout the United States. Without prevailing use of the Internet, this most likely would not have been possible. The East Bay Park District has been able to purchase 1,476 of land. This is the single largest acquisition that the Park has made in over twenty years. The York Center Park District been able to purchase and protect a 20-acre area in the last five years. This is the largest area they manage. With the acquisition of supplementary parkland, it is more likely that this land will continue in its natural condition and not be converted into an urbanized region.
