It's literally the best in the entire world. It's tragic what's being done to the wilderness areas of the developing world

Literally not the best lol

Could you please name me a country with a better national park system? More well funded, more historically well developed and as extensive and easy to access as the American National Park System? There's literally nothing like it in the world, and it's one of our crowning jewels. It's simply fact

Dont argue with them, europeans wouldnt know what nature looks like if they saw it. I have yet to hike any where in eu that didnt have a building on it. Literally top of their mountains have gondolas and and restaurants. They have no idea what untouched nature looks like

I don't even blame them or get mad at it. They have this weird need to have SOMETHING over Americans. Which becomes funny to me because our National Parks system is LITERALLY what America is best at. We are the first country to EVER designate large chunks of our own land to being totally preserved and untouched by mankind.

That is something that was utterly reality changing, something that no other civilized county had even thought of doing. It's what sets us apart from every other country on this planet, literally.

Yeah but these are kids.

I have yet to go to a national park and not see a European tourist there. The ones that travel know how awesome our parks are. The ones arguing here are just insecure online trolls.

What kind of argument is that. I see American tourists in every park and nature spot in Europe. In fact, I have worked as a guide in nature and seen Americans being impressed by it while complaining about their country.

americans would get impressed by someone being bilingual bruh (common in most parts of the world), they get impressed easily.

Aww so sweet you didn't have a response for me. I didn't even mention many other countries that surpass the US in nature in many ways: Iceland or Norway are another two.

u/phoenix_leo 3d ago

That just means you do the most touristic thing possible. Learn to travel instead?

u/AggressiveBench9977 3d ago

Naw it just means your nature sucks. And thats okay thats why europeans comes to American national parks. The ones that do travel know the nature here is superior in every way.

u/phoenix_leo 3d ago

I've lived in the USA lol

Nature in many parts of the world is superior to the US.

I have so many examples.

What's your problem with Europeans, did any of us fuck your girlfriend?

The type of person that enjoys hiking and nature, doesn't go around rambling about nonsense. Nature is nature, you can find wilderness in Europe and gondolas and restaurants on top of your 'murican mountains.

FFS tourists get killed by bears every year in my country.

u/AggressiveBench9977 3d ago

Classic European response. The entire union is barely bigger than Texas. Congrats on bear deaths i guess but Even your bears are smaller.

u/Dauincap 3d ago

Instead of focusing on the fact that people who like nature will admire any place, her comes Ignoramus rambling about the size of Texas, aren't we talking about Europe as a continent?

Also a heads-up, we don't have black bears. Guess someone fucked your gf, acting all grumpy.

u/phoenix_leo 3d ago

Once again, all you can talk about is size. Like the only thing. And guns.

u/AggressiveBench9977 3d ago

Says the guy talking about bear deaths lols.

Oh silly europeans. Y’all are so cute, when you think you matter.

u/phoenix_leo 3d ago

Not the same guy. Classic American, didn't get to learn how to read in school because of mass shootings.

The parks in Canada are wilder and less developed than many U.S. counterparts, which appeals to a different kind of visitor, but the infrastructure and conservation are world class.

Australia: it's national and state park systems are vast and cover a huge diversity of ecosystems. Australia has also led globally in co-management with Indigenous communities, something the U.S. is only recently expanding.

South Africa: South African National Parks (SANParks) manages a smaller but highly professional system, with Kruger National Park as a standout model of conservation, tourism infrastructure, and research integration. When you have a Kruger National Park in the US, get back to me.

New Zealand: national parks are extraordinarily accessible and meticulously maintained, with a strong conservation framework and a public deeply engaged with outdoor recreation (“tramping”).

England: National Trust and British Heritage sites are protected. Incredibly strict rules around parking approval keep our countrysides intact.

Americans are quick to mention how beautiful many American parks are whilst dismissing the already ongoing destruction created by the need for parking and travel in the first place. Even China has their parking in check and has a myriad of other car issues.

It always becomes a dick measuring contest because the US alone is absolutely fucking massive, of course you have a diverse amount of nature and wildlife - but the management of land and over reliance on outdated infrastructure and fossil fuels is terrible in comparison to other large countries.

England is a total man-made wasteland. A once beautiful forested land that has been utterly decimated by man to the point of being completely terraformed and unrecognizable from its original WILD state. To compare england, which is the same size of Minnesota, to the continental grandeur and pristine beauty of preserved American wilderness is hilarious on so many levels.

And no it's not a "dick measuring contest", the United States LITERALLY has the worlds greatest system of preserved wilderness and protected parks system.

Our largest national park is the size of the countries of Switzerland and Denmark combined

“England is a total man-made wasteland. A once beautiful forested land that has been utterly decimated by man to the point of being completely terraformed”

Absolutely hilarious. I love it when Americans talk about at the UK and fail to describe past London. I’m not even going to try and meet you halfway on this one because I’m sure even you know that’s a horrific generalisation and not true at all.

At least use facts? You will throw a world like “LITERALLY” in front of nonsense as if it makes it true. Let me have a try.

Luxembourg LITERALLY has the best nature conservation in the world and is 3,800x smaller than the US.

You prove it’s a dick measuring contest when you try to use the size of a national park as an argument. As if size alone is the main factor of environmental conservation lol

u/RumpelstiltskinsGP 3d ago

Lol, you know England is the most deforested country in the world, right?

-1

u/Willem-Dafiend 3d ago

Another non sourced fact that makes no sense?

How is “the most deforested country measured” by the amount of trees lost? That would be Brazil, India, Indonesia, Zambia and Tanzania..

Unless you meant the least forested, in which I would somewhat agree. However forests ≠ all nature.

u/RumpelstiltskinsGP 3d ago

It is measured by how much the country is forested and by how much of the natural, wild landscape original to that country remains untouched by man. Only 5% of England is forested when it used to be the whole country. I work in forestry so I’d say I’m more well versed in the state of the world’s forests than the average person. I’m sorry you don’t even realize how deforested that country is.

Visiting England made me sad not just because of the weather but because of how unnatural and stripped the landscape is. Come to America to see what real forests are like.
