Known around the world as “America’s Best Idea,” the U.S. National Park System offers far more than stunning scenery and memorable vacations; the parks also function collectively as an operating manual for Earth's life support system. They allow us to remember the past, experience probable futures, and envision what is possible for humanity’s fate by providing transformative experiences. This illustrated presentation will explore the stewardship of national parks through landmark case studies from South Florida, California, and Yellowstone National Park. As a research scientist, national park ranger, Tektite aquanaut, and photographer, Gary has investigated the connections between nature and people to enhance heritage conservation throughout his 50-year career.
