Canadian Geographic Magazine: Surveys: National Parks In other words, a park, or National park is a small piece of nature in which we can truly call "natural"; basically untouched by the hand of man. To start to develop on any of Canada's National Parks would be to ruin that pristine, flawless image that so many Canadians carry with them. National parks, however, not only provide the quiet green space, but provide conservation areas for many plants and animals, some of which are endangered. Although the beauty of Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan may be lost on those who view tall conifers and mountain grandeur as the ultimate park experience, I found it to be a priceless jewel. www.canadiangeographic.ca /surveys/parks/comments.asp?currentPage=41   (1534 words)

IngentaConnect Changing Species Richness and Composition in Canadian National Pa... Canada& national parks and their surrounding areas differ markedly in size, climate, vegetation, and extent of human development. Richness and extirpations within parks were generally more strongly related to regional characteristics than to the characteristics of the parks themselves.
