What are national parks used for?

Answer 1

The mission of the National Park Service is to conserve the scenery and all the cultural, historic, and natural features within while providing for the enjoyment of visitors. Visitors may use the park in a number of ways: wildlife viewing, Photography, hiking, driving tours, mountain climbing, boating, camping, etc.

Answer 2

The NPS was established to protect natural, cultural, and historic features while providing for the public to enjoy them (as recreational, educational, or other opportunities).

The National Park Service Organic Act (enacted 1916) reads:

"The service thus established shall promote and regulate the use of the Federal areas known as national parks, monuments, and reservations hereinafter specified by such means and measures as conform to the fundamental purpose of the said parks, monuments, and reservations, which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

Answer 3

National Parks exist in order to preserve a specific and unique environment of that country. Every national park usually has something unique attributed to it, and national parks represent a protected environment in which people can examine what the place once was.
National Parks are also created in order to prevent the developing of the areas that they protect.

Answer 4

The enabling legislation for the U.S. National Parks Service states that the purpose of this agency "is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." A federal agency specifically designated to ensure that the area will remain "unimpaired" is by far the best (and most likely the ONLY) means to ensure that all people, for all time, will be able to enjoy these wonders. Natural wonders in private hands -- for example, the Barringer Meteor Crater -- are more concerned with immediate profit and resource exploitation than with preservation.

Answer 5

In the U.S., the stated purpose for lands administered by the National Parks Service (NPS) is "to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

Thus, they are used for conservation of nature, history, scenery, and wildlife; as well as enjoyment by the general public to the extent that doing so will leave them "unimpaired" for enjoyment by future generations. The balance between conservation and enjoyment is a difficult one but, in general, the NPS tries to ensure that what a visitor experiences today is exactly what a visitor will experience 10, 100, and 1000 years from now.
