When Canada created a Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, it became the
first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to
managing its national parks. Over the past century this agency, now
Parks Canada, has been at the centre of important debates about the
place of nature in Canadian nationhood and relationships between
Canada's diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today, Parks
Canada manages over forty parks and reserves totalling over 200,000
square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes,
and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental
challenges of protected places. Its history is a rich repository of
experience, of lessons learned-critical for making informed
decisions about how to sustain the environmental and social health
of our national parks.
