摘要

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST) is the largest national park managed by the United States Department of Interior's National Park Service (NPS). Established in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), it encompasses nearly 13.2 million acres (20,587 square miles) in south-central Alaska (an area bigger than Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut combined). The land area of Wrangell-St. Elias represents nearly one-third of the total land area managed by the National Park Service. In addition to being part of the National Park System, the United Nations recognized WRST as part of a 24 million acre UNESCO World Heritage Site which includes parts of nearby Glacier Bay National Park (Alaska), Kluane National Park (Canada), and Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Wilderness Park (Canada) (UNESCO 2010). Nearly 10 million acres within the park are designated and managed as a wilderness, making this the largest wilderness area within the National Park System. It also contains the Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark (NHL), which was incorporated into the park in 1998. The mission of WRST is to preserve and protect ecological integrity and heritage resources of a vast ecosystem in south-central Alaska, while providing for public use in a wilderness setting.
