I've been writing about the amazing National Parks in Canada, because this "Lost Canadian" wants to learn about her new country and there are two National Parks left. Today I'm writing about the largest National Park in Canada - Wood Buffalo National Park!
- Wood Buffalo National Park covers 44,741 sq km across the Alberta-Northwest Territories border.
- Established in 1922, it protects the world's largest free-roaming wood bison herd, provides nesting grounds for the endangered whooping crane, and contains the Peace-Athabasca Delta.
- Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Centre, this remote wilderness features unique landscapes and diverse attractions.
- Wood Buffalo National Park is home to around 3000 wood bison. This is the largest free-roaming, self-regulating wood bison herd left in the world.
- This Park protects the nesting area of the last natural wild migratory flock of whooping cranes left in the world.
- This Park has salt plains and is renowned for its gypsum karst caves and sinkhole.
- Wood Buffalo National Park is the world’s largest designated Dark Sky Preserve, offering unmatched views of the Milky Way and the Northern Lights.
