Quote:While not surprising, it’s still troubling that nearly all of the bipartisan experts serving on the National Park System Advisory Board felt compelled to resign in protest over the misguided policies of the Trump administration’s Department of the Interior (DOI). The fact that these experts, who care deeply about our national parks, would resign en masse in frustration points to the disfunction and the disrespect this administration has shown our nation’s parks and public lands. One council member, former Alaska Gov. Tony Knowles, told Alaska Public Radio that DOI has “showed no interest in learning about or continuing to use the forward-thinking agenda of science, the effect of climate change, protections of the ecosystem, education.”America’s parks and public lands suffer another loss under Trump | TheHill
