National parks have existed in the United States since 1872 when Yellowstone National Park was established. There are now over 400 national park system properties across the country totaling over 84 million acres. In 2016, these parks received over 281 million visitors and had significant positive economic impacts on surrounding communities, generating over $18 billion in local revenue and over 300,000 jobs. However, the future of some national parks is uncertain as the Trump administration has ordered a review of national monuments designated since 1996 with the goal of potentially reducing some of their sizes and protections.

Deforestation Powerpoint[1]
Since the existence of humans, precious trees have been destroyed to provide shelter, food, heat and supplies for economic growth and development. Consistent and an increasing demand for products for human comfort, endangers large forests and the environment. Continuous deforestation is disrupting the natural balance of ecosystems. Populations fail to realize that their daily habits and patterns of energy and paper consumption is damaging in the long-run. As deforestation becomes more and more widespread, little is being done to preserve nature
Everglades National Park
The Everglades National Park established in 1947 protects over 1.5 million acres of land and provides refuge for endangered plants and animals, but unlike other national parks it does not control its own water supply. In 1974, Congress created the Big Cypress National Preserve to protect part of the Big Cypress Swamp and in 1992 Hurricane Andrew knocked down 70,000 acres of mangrove forest in the Everglades.
Earth Day!
The document discusses the history and goals of Earth Day. It notes that the first Earth Day was organized in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson in response to environmental issues. Earth Day now involves over 193 countries with events to raise awareness about pollution. The initial Earth Day led to the creation of the EPA and major environmental protection laws. The current goals for Earth Day include planting 7.8 billion trees by 2020. The document also lists contributions individuals can make through waste management, resource conservation, and wastewater management.
Presentation
The Nature Conservancy is a non-profit organization founded in 1950 with the purpose of preserving plants, animals, and natural communities worldwide. They work in all 50 US states and over 30 countries, protecting over 119 million acres of land and 5,000 miles of rivers. The Nature Conservancy takes a science-based approach to conservation called "Conservation by Design" to most effectively implement their goals of land and water protection.
Conflicting land use intro
Conflicting land-use pressures often arise on coastlines between conservation and commercial uses like tourism, industry, and housing. There are many stakeholder groups that have interests in coastal areas, including local residents, environmental groups, developers, and different levels of government. Competition for coastal land uses between urbanization, tourism, fisheries, aquaculture, and industry frequently results in conflicts over time. Coastal stakeholders are individuals or groups impacted by coastal development or management, and managing these conflicts effectively requires adequate laws and enforcement.

The document discusses various topics relating to grasslands, parks, nature reserves, habitat corridors, and wilderness areas. It notes that only 5% of land has been set aside as nature reserves, but conservation biologists believe 20% is needed to maintain biodiversity. National parks face threats like invasive species, overuse by visitors, pollution, and lack of funding. The document also discusses the controversy over protecting wilderness areas in the US.
Babu12
The document discusses several issues related to deforestation including increasing global warming, carbon dioxide emissions, and loss of tropical rainforests. Deforestation is occurring at an alarming rate due to industries overusing trees for profit, globalization, growing population, and poverty-stricken countries giving away natural resources. This is destroying habitats and posing threats to wildlife like orangutans. Possible solutions mentioned include reducing wasteful land use, improving developed lands, increasing awareness, reforestation efforts, and action by environmental groups.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Recent Park History President Obama 26 new parks added ◦ Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial ◦ Bears Ears National Monument in Utah (Sustainability!) ◦ NOTE: The president can make national monuments only from land already controlled by the federal government, and the act generally does not change how the land is used President George W. Bush 6 new parks added, 1 deuathorized (Oklahoma City National Memorial)
- 11. Recent Park History April, 2017 President Trump ordered the Interior Department to review the size and scope of national monuments larger than 100,000 acres created since 1996. He is seeking recommendations to see if any of the large tracts should be scaled back by presidential authority or by Congress. Described the designations as a “massive federal land grab. …It’s time to end these abuses and return control to the people, the people of Utah, the people of all of the states, the people of the United States.” *If existing national monuments are reduced in size, it could benefit extractive industries like oil and gas, mining, logging, as well as ranching.
