Summarizing and analyzing the year in natural resource stewardship and science in the national park system

Epigraph

When the National Park Service began [in 1916], the appearance of nature—of simple beauty—was mistaken for nature itself. Today we know that scenic beauty can mask dying species and disappearing ecosystems.

—Robert Stanton
15th Director of the National Park Service
