Every day around 1 thousand people visit national parks around the world. National parks represent systems that are placed to save endangered species and plants on earth. National parks stand for important ways to protect the organisms that can be on the verge of excitation. This is how we humans are trying to attempt to sustain the beautiful wildlife and ecosystem so future generations can enjoy the wildlife and the amazing ecosystems. As we are enjoying it today, but this is not working due to the top 4 dangers occurring in the national parks. For now, I will be talking about the 1 danger and then talk about the others later.  

The first danger I will be talking about is the most common danger known around the world, which is littering. Littering can cause many deaths and give viruses to animals and plants in national parks, because of all the litter (plastic) people leave. When animals see plastic lying on the ground, they will think of it as food and consume it. Which could be bad for them, as they cannot digest plastic. I think you already know that plastic is a material that takes millions and millions of years to disintegrate. So, when animals consume plastic, they will mostly survive if they are taken to animal shelters quickly, if not we could say that they are going to die in a few days. The sad truth is that plastic makes them feel full when they really are not. Then this causes them not to eat, then they sadly die from starvation. Now let's talk about how plastic can affect plants as well. Plastic can affect plants in national parks due to their ability not to disintegrate. Which means piles of plastic are formed in the national park. Sometimes the plastic might sink into the soil and affect how the plants grow.  

There are around 4 thousand national parks around the world. That is placed in the goal of increasing the population of endangered species and preventing them from going extinct. Although national parks are found to save endangered organisms. Lately, around the world, national parks are being used for several completely different reasons like having parties, building roads, destroying other animals' habitats to build news for other animals. These things affect the development of national parks around the world. If you don't get or understand what I mean by changing the national parks around the world. I will tell you how these 3 big dangers are changing the development of national parks around the world.  

Parties  

There are people all around the world that decide to go to national parks. People do this as they think having a party in the wilderness is cool, or the person who is hosting the party is a huge fan of wildlife. Having parties in a national park might seem cool but areg not because it can affect the wild animals and the environment in the national park. When they have parties, it can cause lots of noise and litter. This can lead to them going wild, and this is awful as they might take other human lives or start killing all the endangered species in the national park. The litter or rubbish will build up and affect the plants. If plastic (litter) doesn't disintegrate it will sink in the dirt and cause other damage, plastic can affect how plants grow. That's why littering, and parties are threats to national parks. If you want to have more information, why think this, I will give it to you. littering is a big threat because 100 million of waste is generated in national parks every year. And from the 100 million pounds of waste a few pounds in the animals' stomachs and the environment also, waste and parties have a big connection to each other because when you have parties you can generate a lot of waste, and this can cause all the threats I talked about. The other reason they have a connection is that over 327.5 million people visit national parks every year and that would be a lot of waste left behind by humans visiting national parks every year, and this is how waste and parties have a close connection.  

Building roads 

 

I think that building roads in national parks can affect the animals and the plants there. This is because when we build roads, we must take space from the national park to build. The worst thing about it is that we are talking about the homes of innocent animals that live here and turn their homes into dry hard surfaces on which we can drive our fancy cars. Not thinking of what would happen to the animals but the thing I hate the most is building roads in national parks because after building the roads we humans will have more effects on the things that live there. That they’d want to start doing things to national parks like starting to mine or cutting down trees to make more space for roads. The roads affect the things that live there by us driving over poor animals by accident. Even though they placed warnings on lots of signs.  

Destroying other habitats to make new ones 

Destroying other animals' habitats for starters, it's very cruel of us humans to destroy other animals' habitats to make new ones for endangered animals, because taking other animal habitats and making new ones for other animals is bad, and if the animal is not endangered it still doesn't give us the right to take their habitat because they are also living things and they don't need to be treated like that. We, humans, are smart enough to think of better solutions that do not affect the organism. I mean it was us, humans that caused the animals here today to be endangered, we caused this by taking their habitats and hunting them for parts of their bodies. Lie white rhinos, we hunted white Rhinos for the bones in their head so that we can sell them for thousands of dollars due to some people thinking they can cure diseases. There are more problems we humans have caused, the environment and the animals. But I will end it here and say thus destroying other animals' habitats to build new ones is a bad idea.  

In conclusion, all those terrible things that have been happening in national parks and how they are affecting the organisms that are supposed to be protected. This gives me the right to say that we should not develop national parks anymore because Mother Nature should take its course and without us humans interfering. I mean if we were worried about the organism, we should stop taking their space where they live which is known as their habitat where their population can multiply. Therefore, we shouldn't develop national parks anymore for the safety of our environment.
