State of the Parks: Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. A Resource Assessment
Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park is what much of western North America once was. The Peace Parks outstanding scenic values, diverse wildlife populations, sparkling waters, remarkable historic and cultural heritage, and largely intact ecological processes make it one of the continents most valued treasures. But haphazard development of nearby landscapes and inadequate funding for basic park operations threaten the natural and cultural resources that make the Peace Park so extraordinary. The challenge is to maintain the Peace Parks current world-class values and, in some cases, to restore degraded resources. In 2000, the Panel on the Ecological Integrity of Canadas National Parks identified significant threats to the ecological integrity of all but one of Canadas national parks. The panel found that Waterton Lakes National Park faced major impacts from external forces and minor impacts from internal sources. As both of these studies pointed out, most threats to the Peace Park originate outside park boundaries. This report by the National Parks Conservation Association is the first effort to assess Waterton- Glacier International Peace Park as a whole. Still, it is a U.S. study and focuses more on Glacier National Park.
