Wood Buffalo National ParkPhysical appearanceWood Buffalo National Park is located in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Wood Buffalo National Park straddles two ecozones. It is found mainly in the boreal plain and also in the taiga plain. Wood Buffalo National Park is Canada's largest national park and covers an area of 44,807 km2. It was established in 1922. Wood Buffalo National Park was established to protect and support threatening and endangered species such as the wood bison and the white cane. Wood Buffalo National Park had a very unique terrain. Its altitude is between 210 and 300 m above sea level. Due to the glacier, this park has created a flat relief rich in sedimentary rocks. Climate Wood Buffalo National Park contains 4 seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter. Most summers are dry and hot, autumns are generally cool, windy and dry. Wood Buffalo National Park had a fairly wide temperature range, in most cases the temperature range is 40°C. It had a maximum of -21.7°C in January and a minimum of -31.8°C.

Vegetation The vegetation in this park is unique and special, it can also respond to the environment around it...... middle of paper ......es. Keeping a large distance from the wood bison also means keeping the wood bison in its traditional wild life. In my poster, I drew a person putting out the fire. Each year, 1% of the park is burned due to wildfire or fire caused by a storm. That's why in this park, they implemented fire suppression measures to minimize the damage to the park. I drew a person holding a water bottle trying to put out the campfire before leaving, so it wouldn't start any fires. /www.teenink.com/opinion/drugs_alcohol_smoking/article/212339/Smoking-Should-Be-Illegal/http://musebaby.hubpages.com/hub/Should-Cigarettes-be-made-illegalhttp://www.eoearth .org/view/article/157152/http://nwt.adventures.com/wood-buffalo-national-park.htmlhttp://geography.amscotta.com/resources/CdnGeo-TPNP/Wood-Buffalo-NP.pd
