◆說明：美國國家公園成立宗旨意在保護及傳承各項自然及人文遺產，因而園內的各項基礎設施(機械、土木、化材工程等等)亦朝向此目標前進。其中，奧林匹克國家公園是全世界溫帶地區中最大的保護區，包含從海洋邊緣到溫帶雨林、高山草原和冰川山峰等複雜生態系統。除此之外，它擁有世界上最大的原始溫帶雨林之一，包括許多地球上最大的針葉樹種，以及美國本土最長的未開發海岸。

Description：The objective of US National Parks is to protect and pass on natural and cultural heritages. Accordingly, all constructions and facilities (including mechanical, civil, and chemical material engineering) align with the objective. For example, Olympic National Park is the largest protected area in the temperate region of the world that includes in one complex ecosystems from ocean edge through temperate rainforest, alpine meadows and glaciated mountain peaks. Moreover, it contains one of the world’s largeststands of virgin temperate rainforest, includes many of the largest coniferous tree species on earth, and longest undeveloped coast in the contiguous US.
