Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is internationally recognized for its spectacular granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, Giant Sequoia groves, and biological diversity. Almost 95% of the park is designated wilderness. Yosemite was central to the development of the national park idea. First Galen Clark and others lobbied to protect Yosemite Valley from development, ultimately leading to President Abraham Lincoln´s signing the Yosemite Grant in 1864.
