National park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia National parks are usually located in places which have been largely undeveloped, and often feature areas with exceptional native animals, plants and ecosystems (particularly endangered examples of such), biodiversity, or unusual geological features. However, the vision of the National Park was not yet complete in Yosemite, and required the efforts of John Muir to bring it to fruition. A national park is a reserve of land, usually owned by a national government, that is protected from most human development and pollution. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_park

slo6.doc Most water dams in Slovakia were built and put into operation during the totalitarian regime and they came to be known as ‘great structures of socialism’, a truly fitting term.

The negative experience of thousands of families that have been forced against their will out of the water reservoirs’ inundation territories in the name of supplying and developing often remote regions, inevitably raises the need to examine the moral and ethical dimension of similar investments. www.ids.ac.uk /ids/civsoc/final/slovakia/slo6.doc
