Public concern is growing over the privatization of major parts of the National Park system

Public concern is growing over the possibility that Trump’s new interior secretary, Ryan Zinke, will lead a crusade to privatize major parts of the National Park system. “If they privatize the parks, some employees would be re-hired at minimum wage with no benefits.” But resistance is increasing: “Protect Our Public Lands is an organization fighting legislative efforts to push for the privatization of public lands. Through social media, news, and word of mouth, they want people to fight for public lands alongside them.”
