美国黄石公园是世界上最早的国家公园,其85%的面积被森林覆盖,发生火灾是难免的。森林发生火灾,通常的做法是动员一切力量扑救。但黄石公园的做法却不是这样的。自公园成立之初,就采取“让它燃烧”的政策,只要不是人为因素,且不危及生命和财产安全,巡逻人员都不会去设法施救,而是让它自生自灭。他们的理念是,森林火灾不可能把一切都化成灰烬,烧掉的只是老弱病残的植物和枯枝败 Yellowstone National Park in the United States is the world’s first national park, 85% of its area is covered by forests, the fire is inevitable.
