Another climate change paper<\/p>\n
I plan on writing about Yellowstone national park. A place that I believe is important for a number of reasons. Yellowstone was the first national park in the US, founded in 1872 by Ulysses S Grant. Yellowstone is essentially the birthplace of nature preservation for Americans.The park represents the beauty we find in nature in it\u2019s least human dominated form. National parks in general remind us how we should be making efforts at protecting our planet, appreciating it and giving back to it not only taking away. With industrialization comes rapid CO2 emission, need for deforestation, as well as a host of other negative environmental side effects. <\/p>\n
The theme I’d like to focus on regarding Yellowstone is climate change. How is climate change affecting yellowstone? Being a national park means there is a lot of recent data, papers regarding the health of yellowstone, and groups dedicated to making preservation a larger effort not only keeping industrialization away from yellowstone but reducing the human carbon footprint as a whole. So why not add my paper to the stack? There’s no harm in increasing awareness, keeping the faith that humanity will soon realize it\u2019s being called to action! The goal of the paper then is to make the data from Yellowstone contribute to awareness of the broader issue of climate change by interpreting data from a natural science perspective and a humanitarian one. Simultaneously remaining pragmatic and research oriented. The first park in the US, the beauty we consciously preserve for citizens to drive through and feel good, will it’s relevance be enough to take at least some climate change sceptics to the other side? <\/p>\n
A source I plan on using is nps.gov(National Park Service). Looking at the website briefly I see information about how climate change is affecting Yellowstone both entirely and detailed information regarding flora and fauna. This source should prove useful because it provides quantitative and qualitative observation as well as information on the importance of preservation. There’s a large portion of the website dedicated to \u201cWhy it Matters\u201d. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
