National Park Service natural resource programs operate on park, regional, network, and Servicewide levels to protect America’s most scenic and ecologically diverse lands. The Natural Resource Challenge has improved the capacity of many programs to address complex issues that affect our ability to preserve natural resources unimpaired as mandated by the 1916 Organic Act. Funding increases approved by Congress from fiscal years 2000 through 2007 totaled almost $78 million to expand natural resource research, restoration, education, and leadership in many national parks.
