摘　　要：美国黄石国家公园成立于1872年,1978年被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产目录》。此自然生态保护区地处美国中西部洛矶山山脉的熔岩高原上,属寒温带高原气候。由于数十万年前的火山喷发及流水冲蚀,园内形成惊人的地形、地貌;且园内森林茂密、绿草如茵,是全美最大的动物栖息地之一,园内采取特色的生态管理,目前已有超过6 000万人到访观光。The first National Park of the world, Yellowstone National Park, was founded in 1872, and it was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. The park is bounded on mountain ranges of the Rocky Mountains, located in the Midwestern of the United States. Yellowstone climate is considered subarctic （or boreal） but is greatly influenced by different altitudes. Through volcanic eruptions and water erosion in the last hundred of thousand years, there are strange rock formations, waterfalls, canyons, rivers, geysers and hot springs. Being a large natural protective area, well covered by thick forests and rich grassland, Yellowstone is considered to be one of the largest wildlife habitats in the United States. Sixty million people had visited Yellowstone. It should be a role model for our specialty ecosystem management and national park establishment.
