  • Summary



  • Jon Jarvis, former director of the U.S. National Park Service and his brother Destry have written a compelling book, National Parks Forever: Fifty Years of Fighting and a Case for Independence. In the book they argue the case for making the National Park Service an independent agency, similar to the Smithsonian Institution. In this episode you will hear about their combined 90 years of working to protect national parks and secure the resources necessary to effectively manage the parks. They will also share how the politicization of the National Parks threaten their future.

    Jon Jarvis is currently the Chairman of the Board UC Berkeley Institute for Parks, People, and Biodiversity. Destry Jarvis currently serves as the vice president of US/ICOMOS, the US National Committee for the International Council on Monuments and Sites, better known as the World Heritage Program.
