Title
Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park
What occurred
This agreement was with Waterton park in Canada to symbolize on-going peace, cooperation and goodwill between two nations. This is important as it starts to spread the idea that protecting nature should be, and is a global phenomenon. The peace park really illustrates the idea that nature is a finite resource, and a shared finite resource. As these resources become more effected by consumption and climate change, this peace agreement offers the ability for both countries to promote environmental stewardship and protect what wildlife we have left so it can be enjoyed by “all people”.
