National Parks

National Parks are some of the most beautiful and pristine wildernesses in all of america. These parks are the only things that keep wildlife safe and preserve the natural history of the outdoors. Modern day ethics and issues are creating problems for the national park systems. One of the most influential issues with the National Park system would be the people. Citizens and visitors who visit the parks disrespect the natural beauty and disregard important rules. People often disrespect the parks by leaving trash behind. When people leave trash out they provide an opportunity for animals to find unnatural food sources. If animals are used to finding food from people, they will cause issues and endanger the people in the parks. People also disrespect the wilderness aspect of the parks. Hiking trails are marked to preserve untouched wilderness. If people continue to go off trails and destroy natural habitat, animals and plant life will die and the parks would be useless. Another issue with the people is the lack of interest in the new generation. Kids these days would rather sit down on the couch and watch tv or play video games. The lack of interest is going to start to affect the profits of the parks and the importance in the newer generations eyes. If the next generation doesn't find the national parks important, they will be disregarded and utilized for other needs, Ultimately destroying the national parks and their beauty. The issues with funding are problems that need to be resolved in order to preserve the natural beauty of  the park systems. Without proper funding, parks wouldn't be able to regulate people and keep control over the park systems. Overall, I believe the national park systems are some of the most important and beautiful areas left in the united states. Without these parks, we would be losing a large area of endangered wildlife and plant life.
