Passagetiona
Critical thinking
1. Is it worth making a place like Sarek an national park?
2. Do you think setting up national parks is an effective way to balance development and the protection of nature?
Give your reasons.
It is worth making a place like Sarek a national park. People can go there and appreciate the beauty of nature, and therefore better understand the importance of nature protection. It is an effective way. Only a very small part of the world has been set aside for national parks, so there are still plenty of places that can be developed without having to touch the most beautiful and interesting natural spots.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
—Lord Byron
在无路的森林中有欢乐,在孤寂的海岸上有狂喜,在没有人闯入的社会中有深海,在它的咆哮中有音乐; 我不是少爱人类,而是多爱自然。
