	MSN Encarta - National Parks and Nature Reserves
		Many national parks and nature reserves are affected by a conflict between the needs of conservation and recreation; by their sheer numbers, visitors may unintentionally destroy the landscapes or interfere with the flora and fauna that the parks were created to protect.
		The designation of national parks and nature reserves can also conflict with other possible uses for the land and resources, especially in the relatively remote, sparsely populated, and politically unimportant areas which tend to be most suitable for conservation.
		The concept of creating national parks and nature reserves developed in the early 19th century in response to increasing industrialization that had begun to cause large-scale damage or destruction to natural environments in western Europe and North America.

		The County Secretary has advised that the statutory provisions for the designations of both "local" and "national" Nature Reserves are contained in the National Parks and Access to the countryside Act 1949 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
		The Nature Conservancy Council for England has no special policy on this point, but they would wish to be assured that the sites were identified in the Nature Conservation Review or had been added to the list since the original publication.
		The major advantages of designation of County land as NNRS would appear to be : a) the term "National" Nature Reserve implies land of greater importance and status then "Local" Nature Reserves b) designation of NNRS would probably confer a greater level of protection from any possible future threat to the site e.g.
