From the Paper:
"The alpine Yosemite Valley is situated within California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. Carved by glacial ice, the valley's towering granite walls and cascading waterfalls provide for some spectacular scenery. Such natural beauty has long been recognized as worthy of preservation. The exact form that this protection should take, however, has also been a source of ongoing controversy. The National Park Service's mission is to conserve the parks' natural and historic resources. In addition though, the service must allow for public use. This bifold agenda has often been a source of conflict. Yosemite National Park, in particular, has begun to suffer from overuse. Environmental degradation caused by overcrowding and pollution inspired the 1980 Yosemite General Management Plan."More papers on Yosemite National Park:
