"8 de diciembre de 1916. Europa estaba inmersa en la I Guerra Mundial cuando en España aprobamos la primera Ley de Parques Nacionales. No se trataba de una ley extensa, tan solo bastaron tres artículos en los que hacía alusión a los conceptos estético y paisajístico de algunas zonas naturales, para iniciar un proceso de salvaguarda medioambiental. España se convertía con esta ley en uno de los países pioneros a nivel europeo en cuanto a la protección de la naturaleza."
