| Summary: | The effects of climate change are also projected to impact land use and recreation policies in the park, which will have a subsequent impact on the local economy. Glacier contributes approximately $150 million to Montana’s economy each year and supports roughly 3,200 jobs in the state. In addition to Montana, Glacier also generates substantial revenue for neighboring states as well as areas in Canada. As the glaciers continue to retreat and disappear, it is likely that fewer people will continue to return to the park. Water ton Lakes National Park in Canada conducted a study on the effects of glacier loss and found that 19 % of visitors would not return to the park and 37 % would return less when given a description of how the park’s landscape would be affected by climate change. |
