National parks are areas designated and protected by the government to be able to sustain and preserve its historic or natural beauty. Usually they consist a range of different animals, plants and monuments. National Parks are open to the public as they want to promote the beauty and understanding of the culture or nature indigenous to the country. Although, many national parks are being threatened by climate change, natural calamities and human development.
Yellowstone is a perfect example for a sustainable and biodiverse national park. It was first established on March 1st 1872 by President Ulysses S. Grant. The park is shared between 3 states: Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The majority of the park is located in Wyoming which holds nearly …show more content…
It consists of nearly 300 geysers, 12 major rivers, active volcanoes, more than 290 waterfalls, etc. This makes it an important place as it is home to many different species and natural elements.The Yellowstone National Park has to combat numerous dangers such as climate change and development which can possibly ruin or damage its environment. It has to take care of all its aspects in order for the vast amount of ecosystems to function.
Flora and Fauna are the key elements for the parks survival. Yellowstone National Park has a dedicated team working together to protect and constantly analyse the park's natural development. Genetic Biodiversity plays a major role for the Flora and Fauna to survive. If there wasn't such vast diversity between the plants and animals the park would not function. For example if we only had one particular type of breed of deer which was slow, it would be an easy target for predators which would eventually lead the deer to be extinct. It is important to have multiple breeds of the same specie so that there is a balance. The park is …show more content…
The animals, plants, ecosystems, etc. function on basis of the weather and climate. If the temperatures were blazing and the climate was dry bears, moose, wolves, etc wouldn't be able to survive. The Yellowstone National Park has a very specific weather and climate. The park is usually cold and has heavy snowfall but as summer gets closer the snow melts and it becomes warm and moist. Climate change has been affecting the weather and climate. The warming temperatures will imperil everything from trout to aspen forests and nearly $700 million in annual economic activity that park is generating by attracting tourists. The Yellowstone national park is reportedly warming up faster than the rest of the globe. The glacial ice is starting to decrease and also the decline in population of the elk herd, whose main food source, meadow grasslands, is drying out too fast in the summer season. Furthermore tree-killing beetles have started to increase due to the higher temperatures. The park has started to promote sustainable energy and has partnered up with several companies which produce renewable energy. The park now uses renewable energy instead of energy generated from
