020620n-env Environment Minister, Mr Dermot Nesbitt MLA, today announced that he is looking at the possibility of creating National Parks for Northern Ireland. National Parks also exist in the Republic of Ireland but these are small areas of publicly owned land such as those in Killarney and in Connemara. I feel that there is evidence from elsewhere that designating National Parks can create the potential to both attract more visitors yet at the same time allow Government to take extra steps to co-ordinate action for management and set the stage for a range of enhanced funding measures. www.nics.gov.uk /press/env/020620n-env.htm   (178 words)

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. uk.encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_781528702/National_Parks_and_Nature_Reserves.html   (993 words)
