how we get from designed city parks to the natural parks we have? the national parks originated with a place that did not become a national park until much later, i think in the 1940's or 1950's, which is niagara falls in new york. for a lot of western expansion -- before a lot of western expansion brought awareness of monumental western landscapes we are familiar with, in the early 1800s, niagara falls was considered one of the most stunning natural landscapes north america had to offer. it is pretty stunning. after the eureka now -- eerie canal opened, transportation in the new york area, it still does not seem fast to us, it would take two days to get from your city to niagara falls, that that was as opposed to a week. greatly easier to get there and you have an influx of taurus -- tourists coming from urban cities wanting to visit niagara falls. they have the photograph taken. i could not find a date for this picture, but is clearly the late 1800s. one of the problems with niagara, the tourists alongside the falls. one of the problems is there w

in the park. visitors can walk around, visit the buildings, p or at them but at that,s there --peer but no one lives there. other branches that have residences where residents have moved out on their own or have been infected, they were not necessarily taken care of. well. ce, this is thean other victorian house dating back to the 1880's and a photograph of the same pot in the 1950's, you cannot see it very well from this distance but there were beautiful roses on it , everything was in perfect shape. many of the neighbors described to me that back in the day, the d ran weather prettiest branchch nch was thera prettiest. it is an area that is incredibly foggy with a lot of salty air and an on lived will deteriorate very quickly. -- a building that is on lived -- all deteriorate building that is not lived in will deteriorate very quickly. and this building is crumbling. there are also areas of designated wilderness making this lays into a pristine wild nature, coming complete with wildlife. that ha

park. the part in green is the original reservation set aside, signed by lincoln in 1864. as you can see hopefully from that map, all that was protected -- the original protected area is very small. just the valley and the view shed of the valley. if you are standing on the valley floor looking up at the granite walls, the boundary of the protected area is the top of those walls. we don't care about the ecosystem, we don't care about the forest, we don't care about the overall mountains and large landscape. what we are protecting is the view. by making it into a public parks, a government owned park, all this land was all public land to begin with, part of the public domain essentially claimed by the u.s. when we won the mexican-american war and california became part of the union. all that is being done is setting aside publicly owned land, not allowing homesteaders to make claims in it, not allowing miners to mess it up. keeping it tidy so tourists can come and see the view and feel natio

now, 25 years later, the park is being repopulated with wildlife from some of the country's other parksporter, jÜrgen schneider, went to find out more about the translocation operation. jÜrgen: some 45,000 waterbuck graze on the floodplains of the gorongosa national park in mozambique. that's actually too many for the grass to sustain itself. today, the animals are more jumpy than usual. on the edge of the savanna, something is afoot. staff from the southern african conservation group peace parks are out to get them. they are setting up a huge chute to guide the antelope into a cattle truck. antony: it's part of our rewilding process, so, in total, we'll move around 1,400 animals from here, which includes waterbuck, and we will also move 200 reedbuck this year. jÜrgen: the peace and quiet of the bush is shattered as the hunt begins. a helicopter circles groups of waterbuck and herds them in the direction of the truck. those on the ground get much closer to the frightened animals. antony: we've got six there, which is ok. i think we're up to a total of 30, so two thirds of the way there.

udall park is a cherished urban park in the heart of tucson. the city has invested millions of dollars in park facilities, including construction of very large community recreation and senior centers, a large swimming pool, a walking track and multiple athletic fields and picnic areas. in 2011, the mayor and city council approved a master plan update. it calls for plans to invest even more money into the park. by way of additional athletic fields and expanded recognize weeksal programming. however, long -- recreational programming. however, we can't supplement park funding, approve certain community events or look to other commercial ventures like farmers markets that would benefit the city in general. the udall park land exchange completion act resolves this historic land exchange agreement between the city of tucson and the bureau of land management at udall park in 1989, the city of tucson and b.l.m. entered into an agreement to exchange 297 acres swarrow djacent to national park for b.l.m. land now known as udall park. this agreement specif
