Yellowstone National Park: Conservation and Threats

Yellowstone, established in 1872, is the world's oldest national park, providing a habitat for diverse wildlife, including grizzly bears. The bears faced extinction in 1972 but were protected by laws, though they remain threatened. Gold mining has historically posed a threat, with attempts to reduce park size for mining. Despite regulation challenges, conservation efforts continue, with President Clinton blocking a mining operation in 1992 to protect the park's pristine condition.
