Is it worth making a place like Sarek a national park Give your reasons.
Do you think setting up national parks is
an effective way to balance development and the protection of nature 
Why or why not 
Yes, it is an effective way. Only a very small part of the world has been set aside for national parks, so there are still plenty of places that can be developed without having to touch the most beautiful and interesting natural spots.
A national park is not a playground. It's a sanctuary for nature and for humans who will accept nature on nature's own terms.
