Anticosti National Park (French: ''Parc National d'Anticosti'') is a national park of Quebec, Canada.〔(Registre des aires protégées du Québec ), Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs. 〕 It consists of 3 non-contiguous areas totalling of land in the centre of Anticosti Island. It is organized into 6 tourist sectors and 1 central zone:〔''Parc national d’Anticosti - Park Journal 2008-2009 Edition'', Parcs Québec〕 * Baie-de-la-Tour * Chicotte * Chute-Vauréal * Grotte-à-la-Patate * Observation * Vauréal-la-Mer * Zone centrale ==History== The idea of creating a park on Anticosti Island goes far back. Already in the 1920s, the richness of Anticosti's flora was highlighted by botanist Marie-Victorin, who described the canyon of the Vauréal River as a "remarkable sanctuary" for ferns. But for the following decades, the entire island was privately owned by a succession of logging companies who invested little or nothing in environmental protection. In 1974, Anticosti Island was bought by the Government of Quebec and became public land once again. In 1987, the Regional County Municipality of Minganie officially incorporated the idea of creating a park in the Vauréal River area in its development plan. Thereafter, it took 14 years to complete the research, studies, planning, and public hearings. The Quebec government created the Anticosti National Park on April 26, 2001.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anticosti National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
