Protect Our National Parks from Overdevelopment

America's national parks are under threat from overdevelopment and lack of funding, risking our natural heritage. We urgently call on Congress and the Department of the Interior to protect these treasures by banning drilling and mining within park boundaries, increasing federal funding for maintenance and conservation, and enforcing environmental protections. Our parks are vital cultural landmarks and wildlife sanctuaries. Itโ€™s our moral duty to preserve them for future generationsโ€”act now!

Description

Americaโ€™s national parks are treasures meant to be preserved for future generations. Yet today, many of these protected lands are threatened by overdevelopment, resource extraction, and inadequate funding for maintenance and conservation.
We, the undersigned, call on Congress and the Department of the Interior to take immediate action to safeguard our national parks.
We request:
  1. A permanent ban on drilling, mining, and commercial development within national park boundaries.
  2. Increased federal funding for park maintenance, staffing, and conservation programs.
  3. Stronger enforcement of existing environmental protections.
Our parks are more than tourist destinations โ€” they are living classrooms, cultural landmarks, and sanctuaries for wildlife. Allowing them to be exploited for short-term profit puts at risk the natural heritage that belongs to all Americans.
Protecting our national parks is not only an environmental issue โ€” it is a moral responsibility. We urge our leaders to act now to preserve these lands for our children and grandchildren.
