The History of the "World Parks System"®
The "World Parks ® System" ® is
just a common sense approach to a need that is confronting us on a daily basis. "We
are running out of room on Planet Earth, and we need to do something quickly". The
things that are most critical to human life, Water, Air and Land are being destroyed at an
astounding pace. The major question is, Why are we destroying them with such complete
disregard?
Simply stated that are several geographic areas of the world that are important to all
life on earth and these areas have been set aside (if only by adherents to this plan) as
parks, much the same way that nations such as the United States and Canada (among other
nations) have set aside land for National Parks.
The Idea of a "World Parks ® System" and Movement was
conceived by Tom C. Marshall of San Diego, California during the Summer of 1972.
He began the "Movement" during the summer of 1990 while visiting friends in
the Big Sur area of Central California.
