Sign the petition: Prioritize our national parks – they need robust protection, thoughtful management, and dedicated resources.
Full petition text below.
Our national parks are vital ecosystems. These parks are sanctuaries for diverse wildlife and flora, offering a place of solace and safety for millions of animals. Recent times have shown us how fragile these environments can be in the face of human impact and inadequate policies. The neglect and the lack of sustainable practices have left scars on these landscapes, threatening their ecological balance and historical integrity.
If we want our national parks to have a future, they must be preserved and cared for against the forces destroying those habitats. To achieve this goal, we need consistent and adequate funding so parks can thrive, even in challenging times like government shutdowns. We also need widespread adoption of sustainable practices, guided by principles like those of Leave No Trace, to minimize human impact on these delicate ecosystems.
Our national parks are storied lands, encompassing the narratives of Indigenous communities and historical events like those at Camp Hale-Continental Divide. It's crucial to ensure that these natural wonders are accessible to all communities, reflecting the diverse tapestry of our nation. We need a holistic approach to conservation that honors and integrates the ecological, historical, and cultural significance of these parks.
