		The Peace Park is also threatened by factors such as global warming and potentially by pernicious airborne chemical pollutants that are being documented ever more frequently in high alpine elevations around the world.

		The park has neither the staff nor the money to adequately monitor wildlife populations—including the park's full complement of "top" predators and declining populations of the threatened bull trout—or to complete needed archaeological research, maintain historic structures and museum collections, and provide high-quality visitor services that people have come to expect at national parks.
