Summary:
"When
Canada
created a Dominion
Parks
Branch in 1911, it became the first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to managing its national
parks
. Over the past century this agency, now
Parks
Canada
, has been at the centre of important debates about the place of nature in Canadian nationhood, and relationships between Canadas diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today,
Parks
Canada
manages over forty
parks
and reserves totalling over 200,000 square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes, and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental challenges of protected places."--pub. desc.
