Diverse Wildlife
Our National Parks are homes for a variety of wildlife ranging from grizzlies, wolves, to birds and insects. Each park possesses its own unique climate and diverse landscape, creating a unique ecosystem with animals you won't find elsewhere. These invaluable protected spots not only provide a safe haven for endangered species, but serve as corridors, facilitating safe passage for animals to migrate freely. Having the opportunity to see animals in their natural element, like a herd of bison grazing in Yellowstone or an elusive moose foraging in Grand Teton, is truly an amazing and rewarding experience that highlights the vital role these parks play in biodiversity.
The National Park Service keeps a close eye, and manages wildlife within the parks. They constantly deal with significant obstacles such as the escalating impact of climate change, the threat of habitat loss, and the challenges posed by animals that get too close to people. To aid in their efforts, they conduct scientific research, implement successful reintroduction programs for native animals like wolves in Yellowstone, which had a very positive effect on the area - and teach responsible behaviors to visitors, notably through principles like "Leave No Trace". This crucial guidence involves keeping a safe distance from all wildlife, and importantly, never feeding them so they can continue to stay wild healthy, and thrive naturally within their protected environments.
