Hi all,
I'm working on a project called Parks in the Dark with Campaign for National Parks -I've mentioned it once before on a thread here. The end product is a zine on underground spaces in our national parks. The aim is to highlight the unique underground landscapes in our national parks, improve appreciation for them, and demonstrate why it is important to take these spaces into consideration for national park management etc. Most of it will be basic information that every caver knows so won't be interesting to you, but it is aimed at the general non-caver national park visitor.
I would like to include a section on why underground spaces are important parts of our national parks.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the relationship between caving and national parks, in addition to related themes such as access rights and conservation (which organisations like CNP campaign for). Do you think underground spaces are already recognised enough in national park management? Do you think national parks should or could do more to support awareness and conservation of these spaces? Do you think the caving community is recognised as an important user of national parks? Etc etc, any other thoughts welcome too
