The National and the State Parks, the Wildlife Sanctuaries, and wilderness regions are the greatest natural attractions. They can neither be imported nor exported, but only preserved and protected. The people are very lucky that very early on a few of their countrymen insured that these vast areas would remain much as they had always been. The first National Park was established in 1872, when President Grant signed a law creating Yellowstone National Park, an area of more than 2 million acres, mostly in Wyoming. This was the first of many similar laws which meant that many of the great wilderness areas which still existed throughout the country would be protected and preserved. They would be kept in their original state, as much as possible, while allowing generations of people to visit their natural wonders. This act also served as an international model. Since the establishment of Yellowstone, some 100 countries have created similar national parks. In the 1980s, the National Park System of the country had grown to include some 330 different areas from coast to coast, of which the Grand Canyon, the Everglades, and the Sequoia National Parks are some of the best-known. The system of National Parks and National Preserves has an area of over 100,000 square miles. This is an area larger than Oregon or Wyoming, or, alternatively, the United Kingdom or Germany. In addition to the National Parks, there are also the many State Parks, wilderness areas, protected seashores, and recreational areas
