A bit of history...  On March 1, 1872, Congress passed an act that officially established Yellowstone National Park "as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people."  This event started a worldwide movement. And, today our planet houses more than 1200 national parks or equivalent preserves.
