Abstract:
The National Park Service is in charge of preserving parks in a natural state for future generations. Despite their efforts, threats to wildlife arise outside park boundaries in the form of air and water pollution, oil drilling, mining, timber cutting, industrialization, and development. As the budget and employees are cut back, it will be even more challenging to protect park wildlife.
