National Parks Help Protect Wildlife

Unfortunately many animal species today face extinction, mainly because their natural habitats are being steadily destroyed. National parks safeguard these habitats, and provide a safe space for wildlife to breed and survive. Without national parks certain animal species are at greater risk of becoming extinct – a landscape needs to be protected in order to provide habitat for wildlife. Animal sanctuaries give a specific place where animals are kept in captivity in order to preserve the species.

National Parks Help Protect Landscapes

Animals are not the only things that are at risk of disappearing. Landforms like mountains, rainforests, gorges and dunes are at risk of disappearing if they are not protected from the actions of humans and also the natural action of the environment. Many landforms are at risk from pollution, and when they are controlled under national park status they have a better chance of survival. Landforms in national parks are protected from development, destruction, and pollution.

Parks and Sanctuaries Preserve History

Historical structures built on national park land are preserved in order to give us a better idea of how people lived in the past, and how their cultures worked. There are many different structures that can be preserved which allow people to learn from the past and continue building for the future.

Helping Preserve Cultures and Tribes

In many national parks around the world people live generally apart from main civilization, and their culture and members are largely protected thanks to the status of the national park. By setting up protected areas, tribes and indigenous peoples who would otherwise struggle in the face of development are protected from these actions. National parks not only protect animals and wildlife, they can also sometimes protect people too.

Giving People the Chance for Healthy Activity

National parks and to some extent wildlife sanctuaries also exist to provide members of the public with the space for healthy exercise and recreation in the open air. It is important to conserve places where the natural environment is intact, so that people can slow down, enjoy nature, and get some exercise by walking, running, or riding bikes. Many national park have established trail systems that offer extensive routes for exploration on foot. People benefit from cleaner air to breathe and the chance to relax and combat the stress of busy lives.
