"USA: Unmanned aircraft to be prohibited in America’s national parks
"[O]ftentimes, technological advancement and adoption proceeds at a faster pace than regulations accompanying it. A perfect example is what is probably the hottest technology in remote sensing right now, and that is UAVs, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The Internet is becoming rapidly filled with stories and videos of footage from UAVs deployed by aerial survey companies, but even more commonly, operated by the general public. [...] We are beginning to see laws passed to regulate the operation of UAVs on certain lands, such as the recent policy directive against flying these in national parks in the USA.
On June 20, 2014, National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis signed a policy memorandum that directs superintendents nationwide to prohibit launching, landing, or operating unmanned aircraft on lands and waters administered by the National Park Service.

In related news earlier this month, across the globe, Tanzania's national parks’ air spaces also were declared a no-drones flying zone in a bid to stem escalating poaching.
“As of November 6, 2014, the use of the unmanned aerial vehicles of different sizes for photo taking, filming and other purposes is not allowed in the national parks for security reasons,” said the Tanzania National Parks Authority (Tanapa) in a statement.
