No. Some US National Parks are designated as World Heritage Sites and/or Man And Biosphere Reserves by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which affords them some additional legal means for protection in international disputes, but does not pay the bills. The US National Parks are owned by the United States, Department of the Interior, National Park Service.

∙ 14y agoNo. All the US National Parks are owned by the US Government and are managed by the National Park Service, US Department of the Interior.
Some US National Parks have designations given by the United Nations, such as the "World Heritage Site" and "Man and Biosphere Reserve" designations. These designations do not change who owns, controls, or manages the park.
