Is it worth making a place like Sarek a national park? Give your reasons. Yes. People can go there and appreciate the beauty of nature, and therefore better understand the importance of nature protection. 2. Do you think setting up national parks is an effective way to balance development and the protection of nature? Why or why not? Yes, it is an effective way. Only a very small part of the world has been set aside for natural parks, so there are still plenty of places that can be developed without having to touch the most beautiful and interesting natural spots.
