USNPS International Activities Bulletin: July-December 2021
Welcome to the U.S. National Park Service’s (NPS) International Program bulletin, a newsletter sharing summaries of notable international activities by the staff of the NPS during July to December 2021.
Over the past two years, the NPS has continued to adapt to the challenging conditions resulting from the global pandemic which constrained traditional methods of international conservation engagement. Like nearly all of our colleagues, we have become adept at any number of videoconferencing platforms and other forms of virtual collaboration. Following are brief notes about the ongoing cooperation between NPS staff and our international counterparts that occurred between July and December of 2021.
