The birth of yellowstone impacted people by going from a more traditional perspective to being more of a modernized land. People definitely created more public knowledge of natural science, but it did so at the cost of indigenous cultural practices. 1872 when the park was established was when they had a forced removal and displacement of the indigenous peoples who had lived on the land of Yellowstone for thousands of years.

As we know the actual land of Yellowstone has so many amazing hydrothermal features, some of them consist of Geysers, hot springs, mud pots, fumaroles and some amazing waterfalls. All of these things control the environment in different ways

Water Quality: Thermal waters from all the hot springs and geysers contain elevated levels of elements like arsenic, fluoride, and mercury, potentially impacting the water quality of rivers and streams receiving this runoff.

Before the Civil War took place the U.S government exploration made the nation very aware of its western lands. Once the war was resolved the real question was the survival of the land and the national government chose to pay more attention to the expiration on the western territory of the continent's wealth. Since the Western land differed so much from the Eastern land the explorers were charged with identifying natural resources and exploring the land for settlement.

As we know Yellowstone is the very first national park established in 1872 to preserve the natural wonders of this land for the public's benefit. Yellowstone also started the global national park movement which is now a very important movement for the national parks around the world. Establishing Yellowstone also set a very good example for developing standards of managing and taking care of our environment. It's so important to have this amazing national park for the public to learn about all the amazing features that Yellowstone has to offer and also learn about taking care of our environment.

Establishing Yellowstone was a huge help for our animals! 2.2 million acres of protected land are filled with a variety of animals like grizzly bears, wolves, elk, bison, bald eagles, etc…Yellowstone also prevents things like mining and logging in the areas.

Yellowstone also recovered animals by reintroducing them from overhunting or eradication like bison and grey wolves. Just the behavior of the animals themselves improved from the establishment. Having Yellowstone be the very first national park it started things like the U.S National Park Service (NPS) in 1916, which now has protected over 400+ national parks.

Before Yellowstone was established Native Americans lived on that land for thousands of years and these lands were a part of their culture and ancestry. So when they displaced all these people from their homes it definitely changed where they were going to go and their cultural practices on different lands. Establishing Yellowstone also created a protected space for scientific study and a new form of recreation that creates appreciation for wilderness.
