The Spheres of Yellowstone National Park
Throughout history, Yellowstone National Park has been a central part of American culture. When a typical American envisions Yellowstone, they see a beautiful landscape, or place filled with nature and wildlife. However, there is more to Yellowstone National Park than what meets the eye. Yellowstone National Park is an area riddled with the strife of politics. Two spheres, human-and human and human-and-nature, describe an important relationship within the Greater Yellowstone Area that is between Yellowstone 's NPS staff and visitors, and visitors and fish.

They influence what tourists are allowed to do in Yellowstone (Chapter 11, Façade Management). In the beginning of their relationship, the staff changed parts of the park to make it more accessible and eye-catching for tourists (Chapter 11, Façade Management). With these changes, the Yellowstone staff created roads, bridges, and even changed parts of the natural landscape (Chapter 11, Façade Management). Moreover, tourists place strain on park staff to find a balance between protecting the landscape and maintaining visitors desires (Chapter 15, Birth of Mass Tourism). Park staff’s relationship with the visitors is contentious because what they decide may upset the visitors (Chapter 24, Tourism’s Impact). For example, park staff placed a ban on motorized objects to preserve the land, which ended in visitor outrage (Chapter 24, Tourism’s Impact). Overall, the relationship between the park staff and visitors starts with the notion that without the park staff, visitors would destroy Yellowstone, and ends with the notion that without visitors, Yellowstone would be not be a national park.
Next, the relationship between visitors and fish is in the humans-and-nature sphere. Visitors are individuals that come to the park for various things, such as camping, animals, plants, and other parts of nature (Chapter 6, The First Tourists). Visitors are curious …show more content…
The fish can be found in rivers, creeks, and streams (Chapter 12, Yellowstone’s Rivers and Lakes). The types of fish found in Yellowstone are trout, artic grayling, minnows, and more (Chapter 12, Yellowstone’s Rivers and Lakes). In the beginning, tourists were encouraged to come fishing (Chapter 12, Yellowstone’s Rivers and Lakes). Fishing was advertised in order to attract more tourists (Chapter 19, Overfishing and its consequences). As time passed, visitors began overfishing (Chapter 19, Overfishing and its consequences). Overfishing happened since tourists had no limit on how many fish they could catch and keep (Chapter 19, Overfishing and its consequences). Overall, this placed a burden on the fish population, and the fish population could no longer sustain the amount of
