Réunion National Park ((フランス語:Parc national de La Réunion)) is a national park on the island of Réunion, an overseas department of France located in the western Indian Ocean region. Established on 5 March 2007, the park protects the endemic ecosystems of Les Hauts, Réunion's mountainous interior. The park's core zone and part of its buffer zone were designated a World Heritage site in 2010, under the name "Pitons, cirques and remparts of Reunion Island". ==Planning for the park== Proposals to create a regional natural park were first raised beginning in 1992. Three years later, the Réunionnaise Environmental Charter and the Regional Development Plan formally established the principle that a park should be created in Les Hauts. The concepts of sustainable development were central to these proposals, which explicitly intended to combine protection of Réunion's natural and cultural heritage with promotion of economic development. On 6 November 2000, the Minister of the Environment and Regional Planning Dominique Voynet launched the process to create a national park on Réunion. Subsequently, on 7 February 2001, a working agreement was signed to guide efforts toward establishing the park.〔Signatories of the working agreement were Prefect Jean Daubigny; Paul Vergès, President of the Réunion Regional Council; and Jean-Luc Poudroux, President of the Réunion General Council.〕 After an intense period of studies, debates, dialogue, and negotiations, the steering committee issued its report on 12 March 2003. ''The Les Hauts National Park Project'' outlined ambitions and principles for the creation of a "national park for a new generation". It was shortly before the final public hearing at the end of 2006 that the working name of Les Hauts National Park was dropped in favor of Réunion National Park. The park officially came into existence on 5 March 2007 through a decree taken after advice by the Council of State,〔 with a formal inauguration on 9 July. In its final form, the new national park incorporated two pre-existing nature reserves: *''Saint-Philippe Mare-Longue Nature Reserve'', which had protected the Mare Longue Forest in Saint-Philippe commune since 1981. *''La Roche Écrite Nature Reserve'', which protected the habitat of the endangered Réunion Cuckooshrike (French: ''tuit-tuit''), an endemic forest bird, on the slopes of the Roche Écrite massif. Established in the 1990s, it straddled the territories of Saint-Denis and La Possession communes. 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「Réunion National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
