National Parks are those natural areas that are protected and are considered conservation areas due to the species and beauty that inhabit them. Many of the National Parks not only serve as a recreation area but also serve for the development of educational models and even research models.
According to the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA), the objective of conserving National Parks lies mainly in the preservation of the species and ecosystems characteristic of each area. But this is not only limited to the environmental aspect, we can also find a spiritual contribution in these beautiful places full of life.

¿Why National Parks are of great importance to our day to day?
Focusing on the most basic, let us remember that all natural areas provide us with food, raw materials and natural resources; but they also help us maintain water reserves and fertile soils. And the list goes on ... they help us by regulating the climate and capturing excess CO2; that is, they are basically part of the lungs of our planet.
¿What can i do to contribute?
1.Do not leave residues, and if you find any, collect it and deposit it in a suitable place.
2.Only camp in authorized areas, some parks have these areas; places with little vegetation so as not to produce large environmental impacts.
3. Do not light fires, the fire gets out of control and tends to spread rapidly causing great losses.
4.Walk carefully, avoid trampling the vegetation and those smaller animals.
5.Follow the instructions, respect the areas, do not go off the trails and do not smoke in areas that are not allowed, remember that you can cause a fire.
6.Avoid loud noises, don't yell and don't play loud music.
7.Do not feed the fauna, remember that animals do not eat the same as we do.
