Summary
After a brief history of the national park movement, this program examines the challenges faced by three areas that were specially set aside for the protection of their flora and fauna-Yellowstone National Park, England's Lake District National Park, and Australia's Kakadu National Park. The video also delves into the growth of tourism and its environmental impact; conflicts between recreation, economic needs, and conservation; and the concerns of local and indigenous communities.
