Development for mainstream human visitation occurs in the first while more strict rules that limit human impact occur in the second. The revenue generated from the first funds conservation in the second.
We understand that, and that's partly because
we've spent time in NPs, and have learned some things about them, and have read some history and other information, etc., etc.
However, someone chooses not to do any of those things.
