Discusses how energy development and other activities affect quality of parks. 09/14/04, article abstract: The National Park Service appears to have insufficient authority to protect national parks from the adverse effects of external activities. In this article the author discusses how energy development and other activities affect the quality of the national parks. By using Glacier National Park as an illustrative case, the author then shows that under existing legislation the Park Service is unable to deal adequately with the various external threats facing America's national parks. The author concludes by presenting legislative proposals which would enable the National Park Service to protect our national resources.
