    The document discusses Yellowstone National Park, the first national park in the world. It describes the park's unique natural features like hot springs, geysers, forests, and wildlife like buffalo and bears. Over time, the way the park has been managed has improved, such as no longer feeding bears and protecting predators. The park now focuses on preservation and research to understand ecosystems and adapt to climate change. Rangers work to educate visitors, enforce rules, and maintain the park for current and future generations.

    VIII National Parks

    The USA For more than 100 years, the National Park Service has managed millions of acres
    solely for the "enjoyment, education and inspiration of this and future generations." Today, 63 national parks
    in the United States draw millions of visitors a year to unique natural wonders and unforgettable terrains.

    With dramatic peaks and pristine lakes, Yellowstone National Park is an outdoor paradise.
    Multicoloured pools swirl around hot springs; verdant forests weave past expansive meadows; and
    volatile geysers launch streams of steaming water toward the sky. With so much unspoiled natural beauty,
    there's no doubt that the park is indeed extraordinary. While you traverse its 3,000-plus square miles of
    mountains, canyons, geysers and waterfalls, be prepared to share the trails with permanent residents like
    buffalo, elk and sometimes even grizzlies. 
    Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres offer plenty of untouched territory to explore. 4 million visitors come
    here every year to see Yellowstone Lake and Mammoth Hot Springs or lesser-known regions, like the hot
    springs of the West Thumb Geyser Basin and the untamed wildlife at the Lewis River Channel and
    Dogshead Loop.
    Yellowstone National Park is the world's first national park. Things didn't always go well, but
    Americans continue to learn and improve the ways they preserve this amazing place.
    In the early days of the park, bears could be fed along roadsides and at garbage dumps. Today, bears
    in the park find natural food and are wild.
    Opened in 1914, the Geyser Baths Bathhouse was a swimming pool at Old Faithful. Today, they
    understand how easily hydrothermal systems can be damaged and destroyed.
    Until the early 1900s, all predators were routinely killed in Yellowstone. Today, predators are valued
    as an important part of Yellowstone's ecosystem.
    People Who Care for Yellowstone Many people take care of the park. There are rangers
    who work in education, law enforcement, fire, research, and maintenance. Park rangers must have many
    skills. Their goal is to protect the park for future generations and to protect visitors. Some rangers uphold the
    law and help visitors with emergencies. Other rangers focus on building and maintaining the park's
    buildings, restrooms, recycling bins, roads, and trails. Some of them focus on communicating with visitors
    about the resources being preserved within the park. There are rangers who work on understanding the
    resources and helping those resources when necessary.
    Yellowstone Goes Global Yellowstone National Park is a place where scientists can study
    nature in a nearly unchanged condition. Discoveries in Yellowstone can affect the world. Research on
    Yellowstone microorganisms has taught us about diseases, coral reefs, DNA, and other planets. Research on
    Yellowstone's climate helps us understand and adapt to our changing climate. Research on Yellowstone's
    ecosystems helps us understand predator–prey relations, migration patterns, and how species are connected.
    Yellowstone's historic fires of 1988 helped us better understand the natural role fire plays in ecosystems.
