MATCH QUESTION

Match the approach to conservation and development of National Parks with the explanation.

Planning Laws

They have been created away from fragile areas which prevents additional trampling and degradation. This should result in most of the National Park being left natural as visitors are kept to certain areas.

Protecting Trees

Any works on them needs permission, preventing  change to the environment. This can be a nuisance for people who live in the National Parks.

Education

Helps visitors understand the need for conservation. For example, information boards allow people to enjoy National Parks while appreciating the need for management

Sustainable Transport

For example bike hire and low-fare shuttle buses, to reduce, congestion,  air and noise pollution, therefore helping to conserve fragile ecosystems within the parks.

Maintaining Footpaths

This stops the demolition of properties that are not listed if they are within the National Park.  This is an advantage as it stops change, but can make life complicated for people who live in the park.
