What's an area near where you live which could be a National Park (or your country's equivalent) but hasn't been? (thelemmy.club)

Also, if the area became a National Park, what compromises might need to be made in the park and how would it alter existing infrastructure?

The black forest. A tiny part of it has recently been made a national park, but the vast majority still isn't. There's a lot of opposition to increasing its area, as it couldn't be used for logging and farming anymore.

    I guess, but then you get other benefits from tourism and being able to use the forest as a better sponge for rain. I feel like you could make the argument to push the area to increase tourism and higher end agricultural products.
