| Abstract: | This article compares the decline in per capita visits to US national parks with a set of indicators representing alternate recreation choices and constraints. It is suggested that there is a fundamental shift away from people's appreciation of nature, biophilia, to videophilia, which is defined as "the new human tendency to focus on sedentary activities involving electronic media." |
