Humans have disturbed the cycle of allowing predators to have free reign of the parks and are instrumental in returning the balance to the necessary areas . Fires are yet another component of the controversies of natural regulation. Nearby residents to the parks did not appreciate this course of action. However, park environmentalists claim that the fires are vitally important to the ecosystems within the forests. During fires , small animals hide underground, birds fly away, and insects burrow.
Large mammals are usually able to escape without too much difficulty.
After the fires burn out, mammals, birds, and insects move back into their homes. The answer lies in the entrance fees that they charge visitors. A common fee charged is around ten dollars for a carload of visitors for a week. You can't even get one person into Disney World on that kind of money. No wonder the parks are having problems.
