约书亚树的历史
约书亚树国家公园拥有丰富的自然历史和文化遗产，涵盖了数千年的地质变化以及人类与这片独特沙漠环境的数百年互动。

约书亚树公园的壮丽景观形成于数百万年前。侵蚀力量塑造了公园的花岗岩巨石，而构造运动则形成了崎岖的山脉。随着时间推移，两种截然不同的沙漠——海拔较高、气候较凉爽的莫哈韦沙漠和海拔较低、温度较高的科罗拉多沙漠——在此交汇，创造了独特的生态系统。

随着时间的推移，人类的足迹也出现在这片土地上。美洲原住民部落，如塞拉诺族（Serrano）、卡维拉族（Cahuilla）和切梅维族（Chemehuevi），在此地生活了数千年。他们在这里狩猎、采集，并留下了岩画和用于研磨种子与坚果的石磨等遗迹。像玛拉绿洲（Oasis of Mara）这样的水源地对他们的生存至关重要。他们还利用约书亚树作为食物、纤维和工具，使这种植物深深融入他们的文化。

19世纪中期，金银矿藏吸引了矿工来到这里，留下了诸如“失马矿”（Lost Horse Mine）等矿场遗址。尽管这些矿场没有带来太多财富，但它们在景观上留下了不可磨灭的痕迹。从1910年代到1930年代，定居者利用《宅地法》（Homestead Act）在这片严酷的沙漠中尝试农业和牧业。然而，许多人最终放弃了他们的土地，不过像凯斯农场（Keys Ranch）这样的历史遗迹仍然保留至今。

20世纪30年代，来自帕萨迪纳的植物学家米涅娃·霍伊特（Minerva Hoyt）大力倡导保护沙漠及其独特的约书亚树，防止其遭受无序开发和破坏。在她的不懈努力下，富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统于1936年将该地区指定为约书亚树国家纪念地。1994年，《加州沙漠保护法案》进一步将其升级为国家公园，将其面积扩展至790,636英亩，并强调了其生态和文化价值。

如今，该公园保护着世界上最具生物多样性的沙漠生态系统之一，栖息着沙漠陆龟、大角羊和数百种鸟类。保护这片脆弱的生态环境至关重要，以确保这片壮丽的沙漠景观和其中的生物能世代相传。
