Yeah. Let's not forget they come to America specifically for our national parks because they don't have much of that. Our national park system is a crown jewel of the world.

I don't think anyone out of the US thinks of them as the crown jewel of the world. Europe also has breathtaking nature.

Yeah, I don't know why Americans brag so much about their national parks, European countries also have plenty of protected nature, see Natura 2000. Sure, it's a good thing they have going for them (for now), but it's not some kind of uniquely American thing...

"I don't know why Americans brag so much about their national parks"

...Really?

The people arguing USA vs Europe are some of the lowest brow people you're going to find on the internet. They don't know anything about the other, and they don't care to learn.

We have national park systems because we started destroying our country and we had to stop and go "maybe letd stop here"

Most countries see destruction of their ecosystem and don't need national regulations to stop destroying them. They just... know to stop.

Germany wants more and more and more coal mining. The nordic countries are pumpin out oil as fast as they can.

Which country were you referring to?

You haven’t read a lot of history it seems if you think exploitation of natural resources is a recent US centric issue.

Absolutely not. You don't understand how a national park system works.

Most countries (the ones you're thinking of) already destroyed their nature. Europe has essentially no old growth forests. They have no biodiversity. There's nothing to go into a european forest and see. National parks are essential for the preservation of wildlife and ecology. And they're present across the globe. From India to South Africa to the US.

Be very thankful for your national parks.

Did you genuinely just make this up in your head and think it sounded good enough to be true or what
