The sad silence of the National Parks Instagram accounts

On Dec. 22, 2018, when parts of the federal government went into shutdown mode, it caused a ripple effect that’s continued to be felt by workers and the public alike, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Among the wide-ranging consequences of the shutdown has been the silence from the various National Park accounts on Instagram, which have amassed millions of followers across the various handles. The main National Park Service Instagram even has a whopping 1.3 million followers.

Normally, presidents seek to burnish their legacy by designating large tracts of land or swaths of the ocean off limits to development, to be preserved for future generations.

But President Trump is not a typical president.

On Monday, he traveled to Salt Lake City to sign proclamations that slash two national monuments — Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante — by more than 80 percent and 45 percent, respectively.

Environmental and Native American rights groups are denouncing the actions, which could eventually allow oil and gas drilling, as well as coal mining, off-road vehicles, and hunting, to occur on former Native American burial sites and other sacred grounds. Read more…
