Protecting Our Parks
Clean Air
Air pollution is among the most serious threats to national parks. Dirty air ruins scenic views, harms wildlife, and affects the health of visitors.
Pronghorn
Yellowstone’s northern pronghorn herd is the last remaining herd in the world’s first national park and fences are currently impeding their migration routes.
Gateway
A Blue Ribbon Panel guides Gateway’s transition from an underused natural resource to a shining example of the role our parks can play in today’s world.
Civil War
This year, we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Civil War, which began in 1861 and raged for four years, splitting our young nation in two.
