Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Monuments as Wild-Life Sanctuaries: Address Delivered at the National Parks Conference at Washington, D. C., January 4, 1917 Much has been written and many photographs have been published illustrating the wild life in the national parks. The bears, the buffalo, and the elk of the Yellowstone are as closely associated with this park as are the hot springs or geysers. The mountain sheep is almost as closely associated with the Rocky Mountain Park or the mountain goat with the Mount Rainier or the Glacier Park as are waterfalls with Yosemite or the big trees with the Sequoia Park. Of national parks there are now 16 and of national monuments 21 in charge of the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. In addition, there are 11 national monuments on national forests in charge of the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture, and 2 national monuments under the jurisdiction of the War Department. Of these 50 reservations, the 34 monuments have a combined area of about 1, 900 square miles, or a little more than one-fourth the area of the national parks and a little less than that of the State of Delaware. Comparatively little has been published on the wild life of the national monuments and even the existence of some of the most interesting reservations is scarcely known to the public. Much less has the tourist or casual visitor a -clear idea of what constitutes a national monument, of the diverse character of monuments, or of the distinction between a national monument and a national park. This, perhaps, is not surprising when it is recalled that only a few years ago a former Cabinet officer to whom was submitted a recommendation for the establishment of one of the larger national monuments inquired, "What kind of a monument do you propose to build?" And upon being assured that it was not the intention to build any monument, but merely to preserve some objects of unusual scientific interest under the national monuments act, remarked, "Well, I don't know what you are going to do, but if Mr. - says it is all right I will approve the recommendation." And within a few days the monument became an accomplished fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book National Monuments written by Carol Hardy Vincent and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various issues regarding monuments have generated both controversy and lawsuits. Issues include the size of the areas and types of resources protected, the inclusion of non-federal lands within monument boundaries, restrictions on land uses that may result, the manner in which the monuments were created, the selection of the managing agency, and other legal issues. Courts have upheld both particular monuments and the President's authority to create them. This book addresses the authority of the President to create national monuments on federal lands under the Antiquities Act of 1906. It discusses the benefits of the Act and those aspects of the Act that have been controversial, including the size and types of resources protected; the level of and types of threat to designated areas; effects of proclamations on land uses; consistency of the Act with the withdrawal, public participation, and environmental review aspects of other laws; monument management by agencies other than the National Park Service (NPS); and the constitutionality of the Act. Contents: Preface; National Monuments and the Antiquities Act; Recent Designations and Issues; Authority of a President to Modify or Elimin
Download or read book National Parks and Rivers written by Yolanda A. Reddy and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the American system of National Parks wherein the people of the United States own and protect mountains, deserts, forests, wetlands, tundra and tropical reefs. All American citizens are, in a sense, stewards of sites where the Founding Fathers envisioned a new nation and where ancient peoples built cities. Americans are protectors of the tallest living things on Earth and of hundreds of rare species that enliven a subtropical wilderness. The U.S. National Park Service (NPS) presides over a sprawling system of parks, seashores, trails, monuments, and battlefields that encompass 3.6 percent of the nation's entire landmass. The land and its life forms are set apart, preserved, and spared from the asphalt, sprawl, and neon that creep across the modern world. National parkland -- over 34 million hectares -- is to remain unimpaired for future generations, according to the law that established the Park Service in 1916. The NPS statutory mission is multifaceted: to conserve, preserve, protect and interpret the natural, cultural, and historic resources of the nation for the public, and to provide for their use and enjoyment by the public. This book consists of public domain documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past 35 years the author's field investigations have covered much of the Pacific Coast of North America between Point Barrow and Lower California. Studies have been made of the animal life in practically all of our western national parks. The photographs and data in this publication are based largely upon this lengthy field experience. It has been impossible to photograph or even to mention briefly all of the several hundred species of birds and mammals found in all of the western national parks and monuments, so I have endeavored to select and to present a few representatives of the outstanding or characteristic species found in some of these areas. The list of both park areas and animals is necessarily incomplete. I have been asked repeatedly by park visitors what kinds of animals would most likely be found in a given national park. For their convenience, the various species of animals are listed according to the scientific classification, using common names, followed by a list of the principal western parks and monuments in which the creatures may be found. As here used, the term "species" includes all its subspecies. Thus, all geographic races of the black bear are grouped under the one heading: Black Bear.
