Globe editorial calls for public support of national parks
In a recent editorial, the Globe and Mail looks at the future of Canada's national parks, and calls for public and political support for expanding the parks system, and keeping ecological integrity the priority in park management:
"Parks Canada celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, and Canadians have much to be proud of. The planet's oldest national parks service has established a reputation as one of the best; its conservation practices are studied and imitated the world over. Yet its first priority, “to protect the natural and cultural heritage of our special places and ensure that they remain healthy and whole,” has never been more important. So what should it do next – not so much so that we can enjoy our lands and waters, but so that they can simply continue to exist?"
