National Parks in North America
For hundreds of years land, water, trees and 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 lands 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 and many other wild animals, including wolves, sea otters and fur seals were almost entirely destroyed.
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 were made into public parks. One of these parks is in California. This place is chosen for its mild climate. The heart of parks is usually a valley 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.
