The piece started in a dark place, a study into the implications of political authoritarianism for National Parks and the environment. I began by looking at the changes that 2025 brought to staffing, finances and even educational programs in the US National Parks Service. There were moments of inspiration, notably the leadership of former (and probably existing) parks staff in opposing the new policies- I’d recommend having a look at ‘Alt National Parks Service’ on Facebook or the ‘Our Parks’ website. However, it quickly and predictably became very clear, the rise of authoritarian politics is just as disastrous for nature as it is for aid, medicine, trade and peace.
