Despite our differences, everyone in the world can agree on the importance of preserving and conserving Earth's most unique areas. That's the impetus by which the U.S. National Parks Service was created. It was started in 1916, but people had recognized our unique lands before long before that. In 1832, an area in Arkansas was singled out for preservation, the first time that had happened in the country. In 1872, the U.S. Congress and the president designated Yellowstone as a "public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people." It was the first national park in the country and is considered the first national park in the world.
By 1948, the International Union for Conservation of Nature was created, and since then, the organization has designated more than 6,500 national parks in the world. The U.S. National Parks Service lists 61 national parks in the United States, including the first (Yellowstone) and some of the most famous (Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains). Furthermore, U.S. parks feature unique climates, geology and land forms. There is no ecosystem like the Everglades anywhere on Earth. There is no area like the Canyonlands anywhere else on Earth. How well do you know these national treasures? Put your skills to the test and see if you can name at least 10 of these national parks.
