Controversial Changes to America's National Parks Under Trump
An in-depth look at how the Trump administration's policies are impacting the conservation and management of the United States' beloved national parks and public lands.
The Trump administration's push for increased fossil fuel and timber extraction on public lands has led to a series of controversial conservation rollbacks and land sell-offs across America's national parks and other protected areas. These changes have raised concerns among environmental groups, outdoor enthusiasts, and local businesses that rely on the parks' natural beauty and recreational opportunities.
Under the current leadership, the Department of the Interior has taken steps to reduce the size of several national monuments, open up more land for drilling and mining, and make it easier for private companies to lease federal lands for development. This shift in policy has sparked outrage from conservation advocates who argue that these actions threaten the long-term preservation of some of the country's most iconic natural wonders.
