Bus shuttle service to Logan Pass was established to cut automobile traffic. Some areas, including one below Logan Pass, were closed to foot traffic to restore vegetation. Campground and RV sites were established outside the park. Snowmobiles were banned in 1975, and the artificial treatment of animal life and fire was addressed. The introduction of nonnative fish for the pleasure of fishermen was discontinued. Wolves and mountain lions were allowed to naturally return to Glacier.
In 1976 and 1979, respectively, Glacier National Park and then Waterton Lakes National Park were designated a Biosphere Reserve under the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) Man and the Biosphere Program. This gave worldwide recognition and further legitimacy to the value of holding in place these uniquely intact diverse ecosystems. In 1998, the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was dedicated as a World Heritage Site.
