The 'Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park' is the name of the union of the '
Glacier National Park' in the
United States and the '
Waterton Lakes National Park' in
Canada. Both parks are declared
Biosphere Reserves by
UNESCO and their union as a
World Heritage Site.
The union of the parks was achieved through the efforts of
Rotary International members from
Alberta and
Montana in 1932. It was the world's first
International Peace Park, symbolising peace and friendship between the two countries. Efforts are also under way for a USA-
Mexico International Park
