There is not one single proposal for removal of an existing road or facility. Another major feature of the plans is the introduction of a zoning system in which all the parks land is divided into one of five major categories: (i) special areas, (ii) wilderness areas, (iii) common natural environment areas, (iv) general outdoor recreation areas, (v) intensive use areas. Simply defined, categories (i) and (ii) are areas where nature is given priority, categories (iii), (iv) and (v) are those in which man's impact on nature is pre- sent, varying only in degree. There are a number of problems with the zoning scheme. Perhaps the most glaring is the emphasis given to human use. This is reflected in the fact that over 45 percent of Banfl" National Park is classified in Zones (iii), (iv) or (v). Facilities and roads if installed to the extent proposed would occupy all the major valley bottoms, encroach and damage major wildlife habitat, and leave wilderness (in name only) to moun- tain peaks. Proposed and possible development of visitor service centres at Lake Louise, Saskatchewan River Crossing, and at Pocahontas also threaten.
