BR 2-24 National Parks

    I read "National Parks", so I will tell you about the story. A national park is parkland that is protected. All the plants and animals that live there are protected. Earth national park is different and has animals and planets that make it special. Uluru is huge rock in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the middle of Australia. Uluru is the biggest rock in the world and is more than 60 million years old. Uluru is home to lots of different plants and animals. There are more than 150 different kinds of birds in this national park. Every year, more than 650 00 people come to see Uluru. Uluru is very important to Aboriginal people. They have been living at Uluru for more than 10 000 years. Serengeti National Park is a very important national park in Africa. People work hard to protect all the special animals that live there. At different times of the year, many of the animals move around the park looking for food. Denali National Park is in Alaska. It is important for its animals. Winter in Alaska is long and cold, but all the animals that live there are well adapted to the cold climate. When people visit a national park, there are important rules to follow. Important rules are that stay on the tracks when walking, don't leave anything behind in the park, don't touch the rock art and plants and follow the fire rules. National parks protect plants and animals and give people a chance to get close to living things around them.
