A recent announcement by the Interior Department has put America's national parks at a crossroad.
"Permitting the Ambler mining road ignores the cost, the wishes of the people of the region, the impact to America’s wildlife and national parks, and the engineering challenges of building a 211-mile road across melting permafrost," -- NPCA's Jim Adams
The decision has sparked concern among conservationists, including the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA).
The NPCA is calling on Interior Secretary Burgum to keep his promise and protect America's national parks.
A new book, "A Century of Impact", celebrates the NPCA's first 100 years of protecting America's national parks.
