Daftar taman nasional di Amerika Serikat

artikel daftar Wikimedia

Amerika Serikat memiliki 63 taman nasional, yang merupakan kawasan lindung yang ditetapkan oleh Kongres yang dioperasikan oleh National Park Service, sebuah badan dari Departemen Dalam Negeri.[1] Taman nasional ditujukan untuk keindahan alamnya, fitur geologis yang unik, ekosistem yang beragam, dan peluang rekreasi. Sementara secara legislatif semua unit Sistem Taman Nasional dianggap sama dengan misi yang sama, taman nasional umumnya lebih besar dan lebih banyak tujuan, dan kegiatan berburu dan ekstraktif dilarang.[2] Monumen nasional, di sisi lain, juga sering dilindungi karena signifikansi historis atau arkeologisnya. Delapan taman nasional (termasuk enam di Alaska) dipasangkan dengan cagar alam nasional, kawasan dengan tingkat perlindungan berbeda yang dikelola bersama tetapi dianggap sebagai unit terpisah dan yang kawasannya tidak termasuk dalam gambar di bawah. 423 unit Sistem Taman Nasional dapat secara luas disebut sebagai taman nasional, tetapi sebagian besar memiliki sebutan formal lainnya.[3]

Sebuah rancangan undang-undang yang menciptakan taman nasional pertama, Yellowstone, ditandatangani menjadi undang-undang oleh Presiden Ulysses S. Grant pada tahun 1872, diikuti oleh Taman Nasional Mackinac pada tahun 1875 (dinonaktifkan pada tahun 1895), dan kemudian Taman Rock Creek (kemudian digabung menjadi Taman Ibu Kota Nasional), Sequoia dan Yosemite pada tahun 1890. Undang-Undang Organik tahun 1916 menciptakan National Park Service "untuk melestarikan pemandangan dan benda-benda alam dan bersejarah dan satwa liar di dalamnya, dan untuk menyediakan kesenangan yang sama dengan cara dan cara yang akan membiarkan mereka tidak terganggu untuk dinikmati generasi mendatang."[4] Banyak taman nasional saat ini yang sebelumnya dilindungi sebagai monumen nasional oleh presiden di bawah Undang-Undang Kepurbakalaan atau sebagai sebutan lain yang dibuat oleh Kongres sebelum didesain ulang oleh Kongres; taman nasional terbaru adalah New River George, yang sebelumnya merupakan Sungai Nasional, dan taman yang sepenuhnya baru adalah Taman Nasional Samoa Amerika. Beberapa bekas taman nasional tidak lagi ditetapkan demikian, atau telah dibubarkan. Empat belas taman nasional ditetapkan sebagai Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO (World Heritage Sites),[5] dan 21 taman nasional diberi nama Cagar Biosfer UNESCO (Biosphere Reserves),[6] dengan delapan taman nasional di kedua program.

Tiga puluh negara bagian memiliki taman nasional, seperti halnya wilayah Samoa Amerika dan Kepulauan Virgin AS. Negara bagian dengan taman nasional terbanyak adalah California dengan sembilan, diikuti oleh Alaska dengan delapan, Utah dengan lima, dan Colorado dengan empat. Taman nasional terbesar adalah Wrangell–St. Elias di Alaska: delngan lebih dari 8 juta hektar (32.375 km2), lebih besar dari masing-masing sembilan negara bagian terkecil. Tiga taman terbesar berikutnya juga ada di Alaska. Taman terkecil adalah Taman Nasional Gateway Arch, Missouri, seluas 192,83 acre (0,7804 km2). Total area yang dilindungi oleh taman nasional adalah sekitar 52,2 juta hektar (211.000 km2), dengan rata-rata 829 ribu hektar (3.350 km2) tetapi median hanya 208 ribu hektar (840 km2).[7]

Taman nasional mencatat rekor kunjungan pada tahun 2017, dengan lebih dari 84 juta pengunjung dan mencatat rekor lebih lanjut pada tahun 2018 dengan peningkatan 0,1%.[8][9] Taman Nasional Pegunungan Great Smoky di Carolina Utara dan Tennessee telah menjadi taman yang paling banyak dikunjungi sejak tahun 1944,[10] dan memiliki lebih dari 14 juta pengunjung pada tahun 2021.[11] Sebaliknya, hanya sekitar 7.000 orang yang mengunjungi Gerbang Taman Nasional dan Cagar Alam Arktik yang terpencil di Alaska pada tahun 2021.[11]
