About the Book

This book examines the evolution of the American national park idea, with the goal of defining a new vision for national parks in today’s world - a world in which adaptation to climate change presents a major challenge to park management.
Keiter’s thesis is that the national parks have changed as society has changed, that new ideas have emerged and been tested, and that changes in park policy must ultimately remain faithful to the Organic Act’s “conserve unimpaired” mandate.
Individual chapters address the idea or role of national parks as: wilderness areas; recreational playgrounds; tourist destinations; local economic engines; laboratories or classrooms; native or tribal homelands; wildlife reserves; and ecosystem
cores in a larger landscape.

Robert B. Keiter is the Wallace Stegner Professor of Law, University Distinguished Professor, and founding Director of the Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources, and the Environment at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Review :
"...To Conserve Unimpaired offers a series of overlapping studies of what we today may regard as the central issues of our own participation in the park system's evolution."-- "George Wright Forum" "To Conserve Unimpaired is a comprehensive overview of national park system laws and policies written by an outstanding academic. What gives the book its realistic grounding is the insight provided by the author's nonprofit park experience that fully informs and illuminates the realities of contemporary park management."--Michael V. Finley "President, Turner Foundation, and former Superintendent, Yellowstone National Park" "To Conserve Unimpaired is a valuable addition to the personal libraries of those who follow the course of the national park movement, one that broadens our insights into how and why the parks are managed the way they are, and which points to the threats that loom in their future."-- "National Parks Traveler" "Keiter offers a clear understanding of the origin of national parks and controversies that continue through today. How should parks balance wilderness values, enjoyment of visitors, science, and education? Making the case that parks are a central tenet of conservation, To Conserve Unimpaired offers key insights into today's challenges to sustain the value of national parks into the future."--Jodi Hilty "North America Program Director, Wildlife Conservation Society" "Touching on heritage, new strategies for conservation being developed and much more, To Conserve Unimpaired is a strong addition [to] any environmental studies and law collection, enthusiastically recommended."-- "Midwest Book Review"
