International space exploration programs foresee the establishment of human settlements on the Moon within the next decades following a series of robotic precursor missions. Such increasing robotic visits and eventual human exploration and settlements threaten to have a significant environmental impact for the Moon. In order to allow on one hand intense scientific research of, on and from the Moon and even a certain degree of exploitation, and on the other hand to preserve the Moon for research and utilization of future generations, we propose in addition to planetary protection efforts the introduction of a planetary (or lunar) park system in analogy to the National Park system existing on Earth.
