Enough is enough. I say we march on every town square in America this Sunday and demand the files.

Awesome opportunity working with Redwoods National Park and Cal Poly Humboldt using eDNA, LiDAR, and field methods to assess restoration effectiveness. Closes Sunday! www.humboldt.edu/hr/research-associate
Congrats!
Let's dive into this a bit. A short and very incomplete thread on US Forest Service research. 1/
I can see the pancake resemblance now
Nice!
The economic impact of ecosystem restoration is rarely studied. Here’s an example of the impressive economic benefits that are possible even when not including the value of improvements to ecosystem services. www.savetheredwoods.org/press-releas...
Glad to see the revival of Tony Pancake, you were never going to top that.
The cherry on top is having to back pay everyone you argued you had to fire for low productivity but ended up paying them for not working at all.
New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

The story of the National Park Service here is one of conservation successes & significant errors & learning from both.

Graph of federal employees over time showing a flatline trend since the late 1960s
When the dismantlists talk about "trimming the fat" or "bloated" whatever relating to the federal government, remind them that there have been about the same number of federal employees since the 1960s.
Meanwhile US population has increased by ~70% and GDP has increased 29-fold.
This is a great thread. Thanks for taking the time. There’s a broader truth here that applies to so many functions that will be disrupted. It takes deep knowledge of these systems to make real and meaningful improvements
Nailed it.
Terrible news
Really sorry to hear about this.
Not only serving visitors but managing wildlife populations and habitat, doing cutting edge research and monitoring, providing LE and fire protection to neighboring communities and so much more.
Thank you, DOGE, for clearly visualizing what incredible value the American people get from their national parks. 17,700 permanent employees making an average of $81,000 a year serving 325 million visitors annually.
Is there a better value in the entire federal government?
There’s really nothing funny about it, in reality, but this approach has something lol about it when it’s put this way.
