摘要

In 1914, the Swiss National Park was created in Grisons as only the second of its kind in Europe. For nearly a century after this pioneering act, nothing much happened in Switzerland. In recent years, however, Switzerland has experienced a veritable park creation boom. In the last two years alone, eighteen proposals for creating new parks were put to the federal authorities. About a dozen additional projects are currently in preparation.
