Between mining, drilling, climate change deniers, and budget cuts, our National Parks System is in trouble.
2025 has been an utter nightmare for the National Park Service. Along with extensive budget cuts and the mass layoffs of park employees, our “best idea” is currently under attack from the Trump administration. While fighting for our public lands is nothing new, it has been a battle since they were created, the challenges Americans face protecting our favorite places have never loomed so large.
While all 433 park units are under threat, national park units are some of our most beloved and iconic natural spaces. If you would like to express your concerns about the future of our parks, protesting, sharing accurate information online, and alerting others to the danger they face are good places to start.
