Why should we protect the park?

1. We need to protect the Precambrian rocks and fossils found within the park, from volcanoes and glaciers, which illustrate the parks historical ordeals.

Human Activitys
-When the park was established in 1975, there were over 60 resorts around the park. Within the park, there were 12 resorts, 97 leased cabin sites, and over 120 privately owned recreational homes. -Many sold their land and buildings to the park after it was declared a National Park. - The park has ever since been restored to its natural state.

Threats

Logging, mining, introduction of foreign species, and industrial activity burdens the national park and its inhabitants. Multiple studies are conducted in order to check the parks health like its plant growth, levels of pollution, and water management.

2. With the preservation of this life, scientists can better understand how the environment undergoes change throughout seasons, years, and millenniums. The information this park offers to science may save our world one day.
