Talk:National park

US bias

There is very little coverage in the history on the development outside the US. 76.66.197.30 (talk) 06:18, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not familiar enough with the terminology to answer your question about royal parks directly, but a link in the see also section would probably be appropriate at a minimum. I did remove the link to The National Parks since there were several US-specific links already and it read like an advert; that said, while the history section makes it clear that the concept was proposed by an Englishman and also mentions Nordenskiöld, it appears to have come to fruition in the US.

I do agree that there should be more on the development of the concept at the international level by the IUCN, threats to national parks in areas of conflict, and possibly mention of the related concept you brought up. There is an {{expand}} tag, so feel free to add any relevant information. :) Recognizance (talk) 20:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I've added into the Further Reading section journal articles that have information on national parks in Canada, South America, England, and some other countries including the U.S.; I'll include information from these journal articles into the article as I am able to read them; anyone who is interested in reading these journal articles in order to add to this wikipedia article please feel free to contact me.

WHO CAME FIRST?

Someone wrote that Canada had the first national park but it was actually the United States and then Australia. S.Kang 203.217.34.37 (talk) 12:48, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Except what you removed is not about national parks but rather a national park service. Canada's park service was founded in 1911, the United States followed five years later, and Australia has no national service.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:11, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
