	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.
