A RESOLUTION BEARING ON THE INTRODUCTION OF NON-NATIVE PLANTS AND 

 ANIMALS INTO THE NATIONAL PARKS OF THE UNITED STATES 



Whereas, One of the primary duties of the 

 National Park Service is to pass on to future 

 generations for scientific study and education, 

 natural areas on which the native flora and fauna 

 may be found undisturbed by outside agencies; 

 and 



Whereas, The planting of non-native trees, 

 shrubs or other plants, the stocking of waters 

 with non-native fish, or the liberating of game 

 animals not native to the region, impairs or 



destroys the natural conditions and native wilder- 

 ness of the parks: 



Be it resolved, That the American Association 

 for the Advancement of Science strongly opposes 

 the introduction of non-native plants and animals 

 into the national parks and all other unessential 

 interference with natural conditions, and urges 

 the National Park Service to prohibit all such 

 introductions and interference.

PRESERVE THE NATIONAL PARKS 



Certain areas in various parts of Canada, in- 

 cluding some of the most beautiful and attractive 

 regions in the western mountain ranges, have been 

 set aside as Canadian National Parks and are being 

 maintained as such. The Parks thus wisely created, 

 if maintained intact, will provide for present and 



N future generations unmarred and inspiring examples 

 of our wild life and wonderful scenery. The Cana- 

 V^ian people will be always the better because of 

 1 ^heir possession and enjoyment of these great,

'i 



health-giving out-of-doors playgrounds. The bene- 

 fit conferred in this way will increase continually as 

 the Dominion becomes more and more settled. 



Canada's National Parks are of great value also 

 because of the world-wide adverxisement which 

 they give to some of the prominent natural features 

 of the Dominion and because they are the means 

 of bringing, through the tourist travel which they 

 attract, a large and increasing revenue to this 

 country. Such names as Banff and Lake Louise
