Based on these 4 short 1 to 4 minutes videos and the article associated with video #4, discuss in 2 or 3 paragraphs:

1- The National Parks, National Park Restoration, and recent discussion in regard to two National Parks impacted by differing political views.

2- Your professional viewpoints of the importance of the national park system and/or the balance of maintaining, growing, or reducing these vast systems looking into the U.S.’s economic and demographic future.

Please note, this is a professional forum and personal/professional viewpoints and debate supported by facts are encouraged. This is not about political affiliation, right, or wrong.
