Traffic Control at the Swiss National Park
Schloeth R. 1977. Traffic Control at the Swiss National Park. Parks. 2(1):8-9
The Swiss National Park is small and its numerous mountains form a natural protection against destruction. Aircraft, motor boats, sightseeing buses, snowmobiles, cable cars and electrobuses are often used as a means of transportation of the tourists seeking recreation in national parks. However, not only are these technical conveniences taken for granted, but they cause air and noise pollution of the natural environment—and this, of all places, in the areas we are trying to protect from damage and preserve for future generations. The insistence that all visitors must walk surprises some of today's visitors.
