The Trump administration is considering deep cuts to the US Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD), an office dedicated to reducing noise and light pollution in national parks. This office plays a crucial role in preserving the natural environment, as many wildlife species depend on darkness. Advocates argue that the division's objectives are often overlooked, yet they are essential for the overall experience of national parks. The proposed budget cut from $375 million to $185 million threatens the future of this small but impactful program, with stakeholders urging the decision-makers to reconsider.
The Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division plays a crucial role in reducing noise and light pollution in national parks, impacting plants and animals reliant on natural darkness.
If the proposed budget cuts of the Trump administration are realized, the vital work of the NSNSD may be lost, jeopardizing the overall sensory experience of national parks.
