Principle 5; Manage Wilderness to Produce Human Values and Benefits |
Banff National Park
Banff National Park is extremely important for tourism and the economy of the area. The area is used by adventurous enthusiasts, skiers and those wishing for a more relaxed holidays in the spa! All of which benefit from the spectacular scenery. The area always attracts large conferences, as the delegates can relax in beautiful surroundings after a hard day.
Peak District National Park
The Peak District National Park is a "green lung" to the surrounding industrial centres of the midlands and north. The area provides opportunities to escape the oppressive urban environments in which they live. Development has been carefully controlled with the interests of the park and the environment balanced with the social and economic requirements of the communities within the park boundaries. One such example is reservoir development in the PDNP.

Banff National Park
Within the wilderness zones there are bans on motorised vehicles and a greatly reduced incidence of trails and other acts of man. Thus within these areas heavy emphasis is placed upon the pursuit of those activities that reflect such policies and have minimal impact on the landscape.
Peak District National Park
Despite the popularity and importance of the Peak District National Park as a recreational centre the nature of the park is such that no wilderness areas exist and therefore no wilderness dependant activities can occur.
