Joshua Trees Were In Trouble Before The Shutdown, Now They're Being Killed In Their National ParkEven before the current situation allowed for the direct impacts of individuals to escalate all the way to just straight up killing the park's namesake plants, indirect effects were putting their future in question. OK, this is just stupid (in a very entertaining way). The Fedl govt shuts down 4 3 weeks & all the flora & fauna in Joshua tree is risk? Get a F'g life already! I'm pretty sure nature did just fine without humans in the mix & will do just fine when humans leave this coil. For somehow everything on the earth get hurt because of politics fighting 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lowlife ConServeAbsolutelyNothings are cutting down the endangered Joshua Trees and defacing it.

Joshua Tree National Park avoids temporary closure, will reopen closed areasThe park used Federal Land and Recreation Enhancement funds to clean up trash and overflowing toilets, and to reopen campgrounds for overnight stays. What is worse to have crawl across your foot at Joshua Tree National Park? Value it whilst it's there, not after it's gone. This is a shot of a Joshua tree that someone cut down recently in order to drive off-road through the park. Word has it that it's not the only one. I just can't believe they're willing to risk yet more damage to the park. Absolutely heartbreaking.
