What is a National Park?
A national park is a large area of land that a country's government protects. The main goal is to keep its natural beauty, wildlife, and historical sites safe. This means that activities like hunting, logging, or building big cities are usually not allowed inside these parks.
National parks are important for many reasons. They help protect endangered species, which are animals and plants that are at risk of disappearing forever. They also preserve important ecosystems, like forests, wetlands, and mountains. These ecosystems provide clean air and water and are home to countless living things.
Why are National Parks Important?
National parks offer many benefits for everyone. They are great places for people to visit and learn about nature. You can go hiking, birdwatching, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. They also help scientists study nature and understand how different parts of the environment work together.
By protecting these areas, we ensure that future generations can also enjoy Ukraine's incredible natural heritage. They are vital for biodiversity, which means the variety of life on Earth. The parks also play a role in fighting climate change by preserving forests that absorb carbon dioxide.
