National parks are areas set aside by governments for three reasons.The first is to preserve natural landscapes,wild animals and their habitats.They are also set aside to conserve places of cultural,historical and scientific interest.The third is to provide places for recreation,and oppoptunities for education and inspiration for those who are concerned about nature and conservation.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century,the number of national parks in the U.S.has expanded.In 1872 the Congress of the United States establised Yellowstone National Park as a public park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.This was the world's first national park and set a precedent for the preservation of scenic federal lands.In the 1890's,more national park's,two of which are Yellowstone and Yosemite, were establised .Others include Civil War battlefields and Mt. Ranier National Park.IN 1906,Congress passed the Antiquities Act to prevent vandalism at prehistoric sites in the Southwest and to authorize the president to establish national monuments on federal lands.In 1916,Congress created the National Park Service as a bureau of the Department of the Interior,for the purpose of providing a cohesive administration for the growing number of national parklands.In 1933,by executive order,63 national monuments and military sites were transferred to the National Park Service from the Forest Service and the War Department.A major development occurred in 1961,when for the first time Congress authorized funds for the purchase of land for national parks.In 1974,the first national preserves were authorized for the protection of certain natural resources.During the 1970's,as crowding in some national parks became a problem,the National Park Service established several national recreation areas in,or near,urban centers.In 1978 and 1980,extensive new areas in Alaska were added to the park system.
The national park movement has achieved success since many people have realized that the environment is under threat due to rapid population growth.This rise has led to the distruction of wildlife habitats and pollution.If people continue contructing more and more buildings without creating new parklands,it is likely that the existing parks will be badly overcrowded.
