Sépaq is organized into 3 divisions called "networks":〔 # ''Parcs Québec'' - manages 23 provincial parks ("national" parks, as they are called in Quebec) that are officially recognized as protected areas. Parcs Québec works to ensure the protection and preservation of these significant ecosystems, where low-impact activities such as hiking, canoeing and camping are preferred while protecting sensitive zones and keeping environmental impacts to a minimum. # ''Réserves fauniques'' (Wildlife reserves) - manages 15 wildlife reserves in forested and wilderness areas. These areas are dedicated to the conservation, promotion, and use of wildlife resources, and, secondarily, to the practice of outdoor recreational activities. They are not considered protected areas under the criteria of the IUCN. # ''Centres touristique'' (Tourist centres) - manages 9 tourist resorts. This network preserves and promotes certain historical sites and tourism facilities. Sépaq also manages of Anticosti Island as a separate division not part of the other networks. Sépaq Anticosti promotes tourism on the island, particularly hunting and fishing tours. ==See also== *List of protected areas of Quebec - list of national parks and reserves in Quebec, including those under management by Sépaq. 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「Société des établissements de plein air du Québec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
