National Parks in North America

For hundreds of years land, water, trees and will animals were so plentiful in America that people thought they would never run out. The national natural resources were used by the Americans rather wastefully.

As settlers (farmers, miners, ranchers) spread across America, the land were the came have been robbed and the resources have been de­stroyed. Trees were felled in millions. Rivers and lakes were choked by waste from mines and factories. Vast buffalo herds were almost entirely de­stroyed, as were many other wild animals, including wolves, sea otters and fur seals.

Naturalists are still alarmed by this destruction. They demanded that the government and people of the United States should take care about the national natural heritage. One of the leaders of this movement was John Muir. He traveled in the American West study­ing and described its natural wonders. He worked to persuade people to protect these wonders for the benefit of their children.

Thus big areas of un­spoiled land will be made into public parks. One of these parks will be in California. This place is chosen for its mild climate. The heart of such parks usually is a valley surrounded by cliffs and mountain peaks with sequoia trees and other rare plants. Bears, mountain sheep, buffalo, and more than two hundred kinds of birds make their home in such kind of parks.
