| Park purpose[edit] | WIKI |
| The purpose of Mammoth Cave National Park is to preserve, protect, interpret, and study the internationally recognized biological and geologic features and processes associated with the longest known cave system in the world, the parkxe2x80x99s diverse forested, karst landscape, the Green and Nolin rivers, and extensive evidence of human history; and to provide and promote public enjoyment, recreation, and understanding. | WIKI |
| However, the sandstone caprock layer has been dissolved and eroded at many locations within the park, such as the Frozen Niagara room. | WIKI |
| At one valley bottom in the southern region of the park, a massive sinkhole has developed. | WIKI |
| The National Park Service offers several cave tours to visitors. | WIKI |
| The parkway connects with Kentucky Route 70 from the north and Kentucky Route 255 from the south within the park. | WIKI |
| He also owned the stagecoach line that ran between Glasgow Junction (Park City) and the Mammoth Cave Estate. | WIKI |
| The park was authorized Mayxc2xa025, 1926. | WIKI |
| According to the National Park Service, "By May 22, 1936, 27,402 acres of land had been acquired and accepted by the Secretary of the Interior. | WIKI |
| Birth of the national park (1941)[edit] | WIKI |
| However, this information was closely held by the explorers: it was feared that the National Park Service might forbid exploration were this known. | WIKI |
| In March 1961, the Crystal Cave property was sold to the National Park Service for $285,000. | WIKI |
| The Cave Research Foundation was permitted to continue their exploration through a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Park Service. | WIKI |
| River Styx, one of the cave's semi-subterranean waterways, emerges onto the surface in the park. | WIKI |
| Finally, on Septemberxc2xa09, 1972, a six-person CRF team of Wilcox, Crowther, Zopf, Gary Eller, Stephen Wells, and Cleveland Pinnix (a National Park Service ranger) followed Hanson's Lost River downstream to discover its connection with Echo River in Cascade Hall of Mammoth Cave. | WIKI |
| At the same time, discoveries made outside the park by an independent group called the Central Kentucky Karst Coalition or CKKC resulted in the survey of tens of miles in Roppel Cave east of the park. | WIKI |

| The park illustrates a number of stages of the Earth's evolutionary history and contains ongoing geological processes and unique wildlife. | UNESCO |
| A portion of the site has development (roads, visitor facilities, park operational and administrative infrastructure), but most of the area remains undeveloped in a natural zone. | UNESCO |
| Because large portions of the Mammoth Cave watershed lie outside park boundaries, activities conducted in these privately-owned areas greatly influence water quality and quantity within the park. | UNESCO |
| Water quantity is influenced by flood-control dams on the Green and Nolin Rivers, and a small lock and dam immediately downstream of the park. | UNESCO |
| The integrity of Mammoth Cave has been strengthened as a result of five significant measures that have been taken since Mammoth Cave National Park was inscribed in 1981:xc2xa0 an updated General Management Plan in 1983; the establishment of the Mammoth Cave Area International Biosphere Reserve in 1990 and subsequent expansion in 1996;xc2xa0 a regional sewage system, installed in the early 1990s, which serves both the park and three adjacent communities; xc2xa0the establishment of the Mammoth Cave International Center for Science and Learning in 2004; and the discovery and mapping of 140 additional miles (225 km) of cave passageways over the past 31 years. | UNESCO |
| The regional sewer system has greatly increased protection of the parkxe2x80x99s sensitive cave system by servicing most of the areas that drain into the Mammoth Cave. | UNESCO |
| This has helped address common concerns regarding water quality, has provided an impetus for protection and has reinforced the World Heritage property values inside the park in combination with the connected ecologically sensitive areas outside of the park. | UNESCO |
| The learning center has contributed to xe2x80x9csister parkxe2x80x9d agreements with other World Heritage sites (China and Slovenia) that protect cave and karst resources. | UNESCO |
| Fine particles of air pollution often cause haze in the park, affecting how well and how far visitors can see vistas and landmarks. | UNESCO |
| Air pollutants of concern can have serious effects on park air quality, human health, wildlife, vegetation, upland ponds, streams, soils, and visibility. | UNESCO |
| In addition, the park has specific enabling legislation which provides broad congressional direction regarding the primary purposes of the park. | UNESCO |
| Numerous other federal laws bring additional layers of protection to the park and its resources. | UNESCO |
| Day to day management is directed by the Park Superintendent. | UNESCO |
| In addition, the National Park Service has established Management Policies which provide broader direction for all National Park Service units, including Mammoth Cave. | UNESCO |
| On the surface of the park, some trail use activities produce soil erosion and equine waste. | UNESCO |
