New Guide Will Help National Park Service Protect Visitors, Treasured Public Lands from Climate Impacts.
A new guide issued by the National Park Service, in partnership with the National Wildlife Federation, provides guidance to Park Service planners and managers to help them prepare for and address the effects of climate change on America’s national parks and public lands to protect visitors and ensure these national treasures endure for future generations.
“America’s national parks, and the wildlife that call them home, are under growing threat from the rapidly changing climate” said Dr. Bruce Stein, chief scientist for the National Wildlife Federation. “This new guide will help Park Service planners and managers better understand the climate risks facing the resources they steward and develop innovative and effective adaptation approaches to protect these lands for future generations. We look forward to continuing to work with the National Park Service to ensure that a climate-smart approach to planning and management is applied to national parks across the country.”
