National parks protect animals and nature from much harm they might experience in the wild. In history, animals have come and gone from America's national parks. Because some people in the middle ages hunted and killed animals from nature. They need skins to sell for money and don’t care a bit about the animals. They just think that animals are objects, and not real living organisms that are important to our world. Also builders making new houses and farms on the grasslands makes animals extinct. Elk, goats, sheep, cows, and so many other animals want to graze on the land they once had, the land has disappeared, and they have no more food for a group or an only one to survive. That is why, right now, scientists are working together to help nurse back the population of animals. Animals play an important role in the food chain. That is why we have to learn to protect the animals.
National park ecosystems can protect animals, but sometimes they are not balanced and cannot protect wildlife. Animals had disappeared and food chains began to break. The food chain was not balanced, so many animals and a huge population, while other populations only have a few. Urban sprawl is becoming popular in cities and towns so animals have nowhere to go to, except come to our living areas and find trash food to eat. They needed to survive, just like any other living creature in nature desires to do. Some were endangered, while another kind of animal’s population was boosting. Those that had a population of over a million, now had no more than several thousands. Animals are really disappearing from nature, making the food chain unbalanced.
The food chain and nature are falling apart because of us humans. Hunters used to come and hunt for animals, and predator’s skin and elephants’ tusks were worth lots of money. Because of wanting to be rich, hunters came to kill for skin, and sold it for money. But animals disappeared quickly because of this. Also, builders have used up all the land there was for humans and turned them into cities where animals could not live. The builders asked for more land, so they had to use the grasslands where old animal families came to graze grass to have food and survive. Animal’s homes were destroyed, and some with the animals inside it. Animals also disappeared quickly because of it. Humans are a big problem to nature and the areas around us.
Now, people try to make up for their mistake of making the animals disappear to balance the population of animals. The workers of the National Parks put up signs that do not allow hunting, and help animals come into the national parks where people can learn to protect them. Elk are transported a long way from National Parks back to the Great Smoky mountains they once used to live in, to restore the old balance of nature. There, small animals could have enough plants for them to eat, and the meat eating predators can also have small animals to hunt and eat for prey. Grey wolf also disappeared, and caused a huge hole in the food chain. Plant-eating animals’ populations grew fast and large. Plants disappeared quickly away from nature. But now, as humans help restore the wild, animals and their food chain can be restored again.
In conclusion, national parks protect animals, and we have to do so too. But bringing animals to where they do not actually belong may also lead to a problem. In the new area, there are no predators for the invasive species, so its population will grow quickly. At the same time, the invasive species’ food will disappear. This makes the food chain unbalanced, and animals who eat the same food as invasive species’ numbers will also decrease. This is why the food chain must be balanced so that animals will not disappear or have too much population. Animals are getting unbalanced but we have to help restore the animals and their food chain. When all the things are complete, nature will be complete too. That is why it is very important to learn more about animals and their habitats to help protect nature.
