The National Park Service manages some of North America’s most intact ecosystems. America’s parks are oases of biodiversity as much as they are breathtaking landscapes for the vacationing public. Parks serve as refuges for sensitive species and provide important habitat to keep common species thriving. They act as classrooms that demonstrate the complexities of nature, places to observe the effects of climate change in a natural laboratory setting and showcase how science is being used to support ecosystem adaptation.
