The Trump administration's plans to cut staff at key federal agencies like the National Park Service (NPS), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are raising concerns about the future of national parks and public lands. These cuts could lead to significant job losses across various regions, including the West, Southeast, and Great Lakes. This matters because it not only affects the livelihoods of those employed by these agencies but also threatens the management and preservation of vital natural resources and public spaces.

The Trump administration's proposed staffing cuts to federal agencies like the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife could lead to the loss of around 2,050 jobs, impacting regions across the West, Southeast, and Great Lakes. This move raises concerns about the management of national parks and public lands, which are vital for conservation and recreation. The potential firings not only threaten the livelihoods of many employees but also jeopardize the quality of services provided to the public, making this a significant issue for environmental stewardship.
