The national park zoning system consists of five zones ( Zone1- Special Preservation, Zone2 - Wilderness, Zone3- Natural Environment, Zone4- Outdoor recreation, and Zone 5- Park Services) , from areas designated for a high level of protection to areas which support concentrated park facilities. In certain National Parks not all zones will be represented. Where zones which permit a concentration of visitor activities and supporting services and facilities are required (Zone 4 and 5) they will occupy no more than a small proportion on a national park. In some cases, environmentally or culturally sensitive sites may warrant special management but do not fit the current zoning designation. Park management plans will include guidelines necessary for the protection and use of such sites. A temporal zoning designation may also be considered for certain areas.
