Park Management / Wapusk Provincial Park (In-Class Blog Question 3)


Parks can meet the perfect balance between access and protection, however the area must be studied so we as humans know exactly how much human access a certain environment can handle. Some environments have a much higher capacity for human activity then others. It is essential that we understand what an environments capacity is, that way we can best control the human access to ensure we do not disturb the environment. In Wapusk provincial park they are currently implementing further human access on tours and guides in order to create a better balance between access and protection. The park has previously had very little human access due to its geographic placement. With human access increasing, it is important that rules and regulations are in place regarding littering, camping, hunting, fishing and fires.
