Of the 63 national parks in the US , 21 of them bear the designation of International Biosphere Reserve .

Olympic National Park was one of the first national parks to receive the UNESCO designation decades ago .

The park is home to four distinct ecosystems that have been able to survive for thousands of years .

Each reserve provides precious data to researchers who are working diligently to protect the past and learn how climate change impacts untouched areas.

Olympic National Park is unable to receive a dark sky designation because of light pollution in the Seattle -Tacoma area.

95% of the park boasts dark skies that are perfect for stargazing.

Light pollution can severely diminish the health of flora and fauna and can even cause some to become extinct.
