A new study shows that visitors to National Parks are willing to fork over even more fees if it means conserving wildlife that ventures out of the park.⁠ ⁠ University of Wyoming researchers discovered that of nearly 1,000 people surveyed, 75 percent said they would pay an increased tax on park concessions and other goods that would go to conservation outside the park. And 66 percent agreed to a hypothetical added fee at the entrance gate. On top of that, about 77 percent of those surveyed said they traveled to the parks primarily to see wildlife. If that wildlife declined, half of respondents said, so would their visits.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #nationalpark #nationalparks #universityofwyoming #tourism #outdoors #wildlife #conservation #habitat #outdoorlife #nature⁠ 📷: Jacob W.
