Controversy Over Plans for Changes in U.S. Parks - Yahoo! News: "'It's a disaster,' said Denis Galvin, who was deputy director of the Park Service from 1998 to 2002 and is an expert on the management policies.
He noted that seemingly obscure issues such as the requirement for maintaining a dark night sky and preserving quiet would no longer be emphasized.
'We know how important these things are for animals,' Galvin said. 'Birds use the night sky to navigate and animals need to hear each other. This version, as I understand it, doesn't recognize the biological values of those things and it eliminates them as visitor amenities.'"
This is awful news !!!
