Todays National Parks serve more

purposes and provide greater benefits

than when first envisioned over a

century ago.

Yet they also face threats to their

and change must be undertaken toensure their relevance in the 21st

century.

The NPS leadership has developed

a Call to Action Plan that expands

the role of the NPS beyond traditionalboundaries and actively engaging

communities. JON JARVIS, DIRECTORNATIONAL PARK SERVICE
